I built one wine room before in my Palm Springs home. About 300 bottles in that one. The room was a stand alone room with a split handler temperature control unit.

Here in the Villages, we are in a Seabrook model home. Instead of having the Butler's pantry area finished, we had the area drywalled and carpeted (I tried to get the Villages to do a some of the stuff that would make it easier during construction, but no luck). So we have an area of about 8' by 10.5 feet that should nicely let us double to triple capacity - noinside the room activities - just storage and a little presentation area. At the moment, our wine is in a wine storage facility in the desert.

I think I have a pretty good idea about what needs to be done because of our past efforts: remove the drywall, redo inside walls with green board, insulate with materials to create the vapor barrier and then do the finishing and racking. But I am looking for a local contractor who has done it. Working now on expandinmg the search to Orlando. Would really like to get my wine before the summer!
