I'm not really up on the best storage places in NYC--perhaps I will do some poking around too. But, yes, 36 cases may not really be worth it to get storage especially since many places use a "consignment" model and charge for each time you go to retrieve... Here's a list of some facilities to get your calls rolling: http://www.wine-searcher.com/storage.lml Cheers, Hi Mikeyrad-

I'm thinking of starting to store with them. You might want to look at the Manhattan Wine Company. I’m thinking of starting to store with them.

You don't need a eurocave. You can get a good 36 bottle wine fridge for under $500 and you'll own it outright. check out beveragefactory which is an online vendor. 2 or 3 cases?

I'm looking for a place that has reasonable rates and will store two or three mixed cases. I'm beginning to think that it's far cheaper to rent some space than to buy a EuroCave. Thanks in advance.

A YEAR! Then, you can take your wine to your favorite restaurant, pay corkage fees every night, and you won't come close to the $15K a year in storage costs at Boulud. However, they might not be so excited to seat a regular BYO party... You can get a 20 case wine locker in the heart of LA for less than $400 a year. A YEAR!

I imagine that if one regularly patronizes such restaurants and orders expensive bottles of wine at dinner, the cost of the locker is cheaper than the obscene mark-ups on wine.
