BUT... I have a problem! The cooler is to Humid, white "mold" and labels are getting all messed up! I called EuroCave and they walked me through an elaborate recalibration process. I'll let it sit for a day and then I need to take out every bottle, clean them with a vinegar solution, wipe the inside, let it sit for 30 mins, put a new charcoal filter in it, put them all back and Hope this goes away! I'll get a count but i think 30-40 bottles are looking like crap. What a total Bummer.






I guess we need to start drinking more wine. I've kind of slowed down a little but some of the older bottles need to get opened.

Update on wine fridge... I followed up with the company when we got home from vacation. They sent a technician out to assess the situation. He said it's faulty and needs to be replaced. Since it's under warranty shouldn't be an issue, right? Well the representative gave me a hard time and made me jump through hoops. Finally I asked him if this conversation was being taped, to repeat his name and to connect me with his Manager. He said to hold on for a minute, got back on the line said he got a free replacement approved and I would be contacted when it is ready to ship. Very sad that companies have to play game like this with good customer's. This is our second unit as we moved up to their premier model.

Opened a dammaged bottle tonight. Cork had a little mold on top but seems to be okay. I'll know what it tastes like in 45 minutes or so.
