For many skiers and snowboarders fall is a season filled with anxiousness and an unrest that is hard to satisfy. Fueled by ski movie premiers, Facebook posts and Throw Back Thursday posts on Instagram of POW days that remain in recent memory, this unrest grows and grows throughout the fall. ...Read More
The 2013/14 ski season will feature a brand new Chair 6 which is currently under construction. Built on the same foot print as the old chair, the new Chair 6 will feature less lift towers and will be a faster ride. As of the 2012/13 ski season, Chair 6 was the oldest high-speed quad in North America at 31 years of age. Having a lift that old poses a problem when ordering replacement parts. Investing in a brand new lift will insure skiers and riders get fresh turns on the upper mountain for years to come!
Ted's Express (Summer 2012)
Alyeska is very excited about the new high-speed quad that will be replacing Chair 4. Ted's Express will be in the identical foot print of the old Chair 4 to minimize construction damage to the mountain. Ted's Express estimated trip time from base to top is 5 minutes, shaving about 10 minutes off per lap giving our skiers and riders more vertical for their buck. Skiers will gain 1,348 vertical feet in elevation over a 4,300 foot distance at a speed of 1,000 feet per minute.
Chair 6 Grading Project (Summer 2012)
Many people have been asking what the excavators are doing on the hill. The answer, making the traffic heavy Chair 6 base area wide and less steep to reduce the risk of accidents. The new grading gives skiers and riders two different routes. Route one will lead people on skier's right side of the trail to the Chair 6 base and lift line where they can jump on the chair for another lap. Route two will steer skiers and riders to the left hand side of the trail and go around the base of Chair 6 so they can head to the lower mountain. This byway will help control skier traffic flow, bottle-necks and lower the risk of skier collision.

everything was excellent
The service was first class and the food couldn't be faulted
No picture on the tv, so listened to the radio via the tv
excellent location, food very good-both dinner and brekkie nxt morning
No pressure from shower-only a trickle of water.Bedroom was a bit musty.
Tatty and very basic in need of updating.
food was spot on. location excellent, nice and warm.
bedrooms tatty, smelt musty, but i stayed in a lot worse for the same money.
Staff very pleasant. Very welcoming environment
Basic but perfect for the weekend. Good value for money. Also above probably the nicest pub in town.
Rooms Food (Very Good) Great Value Nice People Off Road Parking
Loved the location and breakfast. Also ate in the bar at dinner - first class. Made to feel at home and allowed to get on with our stay.
The girl we saw every morning..polite..lovely...food beautiful..but sorry about the guys manners...he had none.
I didn't like the guys attitude..he hardly said hello..he demanded £165 euro off us there an then..before he even gave us a key to the room..when my husband gave him £140 sterling(after all they advertise in sterling) he said it wasn't enough an preferred Euros..Anymore I'll stay in The Holyrood..£179..try booking you...an see how much it is at the end..it was advertised £132 reserved...but they charged £165..I stayed in Barcelona an other places an you settle when you leave an not before it.
The breakfast; a week of the Irish breakfast would probably cause a heart attack. But it was very good. Walk across the road onto the Atlantic coast. Beautiful, if a bit chilly for Aussie blood. Good jumping off point to many points of interest: our particular target was the Flaidh (Music festical) at Sligo.
The plumbing in the ensuite was a bit troublesome - flushing the toilet was a bit like rebooting a Microsoft system - need three fingers, two hands, stand on one foot etc), but we coped. It's not a young building, so it had to be expected.
good public house and b&b in the centre of town . staff were helpful and friendly . the room was good and the breakfast was excellent
my room was very noise at the back no sleep
location view room
Breakfast was second to none.
No hot water to shave,accommodation needs major uplift very drab looking
The food was excellent, staff friendly altogether a good value place to stay.
Room was spacious, comfortable bed, clean bed linen & towels daily. Breakfast was fantastic - fresh produce & plenty to choose from. Restaurant offered fantastic food at reasonable prices. Staff were extremely friendly & hospitable!!
A lift in the b&b would have been beneficial for children in prams.
Food was amazing staff were great
Great location, friendly welcoming staff who made every effort to make us welcome and comfortable especially at the fantastic breakfast. We went back to the bar each evening to eat and drink after our days out and there was a very warming and enjoyable atmosphere, so much so that we met people there that we're staying elsewhere but really enjoyed the "craic" in Maddens bridge bar rather than their own accommodation. Very pleasing place and would return.
Food, excellent. Beers/ales, good wide range. Very genuine pub decor and environment. Staff welcoming and helpful.
Bedroom decor, brown and old-fashioned. Bed very soft and bouncy, like being at sea on a raft.
Waited forever at bar to check in and got a quick intro . Breakfast made up for the lack of service and welcome on arrival.
Friendly staff. Good accommodation - basic but very clean and comfortable. Excellent location. Great food.
Primarily the staff who attended to my needs very professionally.
The wind and rain.
I liked the location
The bar men were not too friendly, the deco in the bar was dull and outdated , could do with some new lighting ,and some reorganisation in the bar area.
Food was fantastic both evening meal in the bar and the breakfast was fab, great selection on the menus. Room was spotless, and was great value for money
The bed was slightly uncomfortable and the toilet in our room didnt flush properly other than that we had a very plesent stay.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Police in Northern California say San Francisco 49er Ray McDonald has been arrested on domestic violence charges.
San Jose police Sgt. Heather Randol says the 29-year-old defensive end was taken into custody early Sunday after officers responded to a home in an upscale neighborhood.
McDonald was jailed on felony domestic violence charges. Santa Clara County sheriff's Sgt. Kurt Stenderup says McDonald was released after posting bail.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced tougher penalties last week for players accused of domestic violence.
San Francisco 49ers General Manager Trent Baalke said in a statement Sunday that the team takes "such matters" seriously but isn't commenting on the allegations involving McDonald without more information.
McDonald has been playing for San Francisco since he was drafted as a third-round pick in 2007.

Vision screenings
A new Oregon law is requiring all public school students ages 7 and younger to have their vision screened to make sure they can see clearly in the classroom as they learn critical reading and writing skills. To help families get their kids screened, the Springfield Lions Club has stepped up and offered to screen every elementary student for free this fall! Families will be notified as to the results of the screening. (Have you hugged a Lion today?)
Financial aid resource page available
The district has worked with the Career and Counseling Centers at Springfield and Thurston High to create a new page full of Financial Aid resources and information for parents who are starting to think about how to pay for their kids to go to college.

Because family involvement is so crucial to students, we encourage all families to access the system regularly!

This quantitative descriptive cross sectional study explored factors influencing sexual risk behaviours among youths in senior secondary schools in Ethiopia. Data were collected using structured questionnaires. Religious attachment, living with friends, living alone, parental control, level of parental education, peer pressure and number of friends who had experienced sex were some of the factors noted to influence youths to engage in sexual risk behaviours. The findings of this study have implications for both practice and policy development. They will enable healthcare workers to identify youths at risk of engaging in sexual risk behaviours and subsequently motivate them using health promotion strategies to engage in safe sexual practices. Adopting such an approach will prevent or at least minimise risk of youths being infected with sexually transmitted diseases, such as HIV/AIDS.

Forty four genotypes of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill] including indigenous germplasm of North East India were studied to evaluate genetic variation for seed yield and Yellow Mosaic Virus (YMV) resistance. All traits under study viz, Plant height (PH), Internodal length(IL), No. of trifoliate leaves plant -1 (TL), Pods plant -1 (PP), Seeds plant -1 (SP), 100- seed weight (SW), Pod weight (PW), Seed yield plant -1 (SY), Days to 50% flowering (DF) and Days to maturity (DM) exhibited wide variation among the genotypes. 100-seed weight exhibited highest coefficient of variance at both genotypic (GCV) and phenotypic level (PCV) followed by seed yield plant - 1 and seeds plant -1 indicating wide variation among the genotypes under study. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was observed in 100-seed weight, seeds plant -1 , seed yield plant -1, plant height and pod weight plant -1 indicating their potential to be selected for the effectiveness

Abortion battle looms on conscience clause
The latest battle in the abortion wars seems to be shaping up around the matter of "conscience clauses" intended to protect health care workers who refuse to participate in certain procedures such as abortions or sterilizations because of personal or religious convictions.
Opposing sides in the debate seem to be preparing their best shots for and against the Obama administration's intent to rescind an 11th hour Bush Administration rule on the issue. But the precise target is not yet clear because the new ruling, expected any day, has not yet been posted. Once it is posted, there will be a 30-day period for public comment.
Update: HHS opens 30-day period for comments on conscience protection
Further clouding the lines is the fact that three federal laws currently exist to protect health care workers who have a conscientious objection to participating in certain medical procedures and a number of states have either enacted or are working on "conscience clause" legislation.

Old issues in modern TV 'crisis'
This week a steady stream of television and cable executives will appear in Ottawa before the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage to discuss the "evolution of the television industry in Canada and its impact on local communities." MPs from all parties will demand to know what companies like Rogers, CTV and Canwest are prepared to do to ensure local TV broadcasting doesn't disappear in many smaller and medium-sized communities.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The current "crisis" feels new, yet the issues are nearly as old as Canadian broadcasting itself. The economics of Canadian broadcasting have relied on a range of policy support mechanisms that include: lucrative commercial substitution, which lets broadcasters substitute Canadian commercials during the simulcast of U.S. programs; market protection that has limited local competition; declining programming commitments that allow broadcasters to fill airtime with cheaper foreign programming; and corporate convergence approvals that have resulted in only a handful of big Canadian broadcasters.
Broadcasters now argue these measures are insufficient, and with the latest round of threats to shut down some local stations, MPs will be anxious to identify solutions to keep broadcasters in business. As they grapple with the issue, MPs would do well to remember that at least three separate issues are often lumped into the single umbrella issue of local broadcasting.
The first is local programming, primarily local news. Last year, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission established the $60 million Local Programming Improvement Fund (LPIF) to support programming in smaller markets. Broadcasters have been cool to the idea. MPs may want to ask why they continue to ask for new carriage fees, but have not embraced funding that targets the local programming that is said to be in dire straits.
The second issue is local broadcasting, particularly the financial viability of stations in smaller markets. Private broadcasters have announced plans to downsize or drop certain stations, raising questions about how (or whether) those stations should receive support.
The broadcasters have been using the threatened closures to build support for a fee-for-carriage system that would see cable and satellite subscribers pay upwards of $75 per year for over-the-air television signals that are currently free. The CRTC has twice rejected the fee-for-carriage proposal, noting that broadcast executives have been unwilling to commit the money to local broadcast stations.
Looming on the horizon is the third issue – local access to over-the-air broadcasting (OTA). Canadian broadcasters will switch from analog to digital signals in 2011 and have left little doubt that some communities will lose their signal. With one in 10 Canadians relying on OTA broadcasts, this means millions may lose access to television, with residents in smaller communities particularly hard hit.
Some may be hoping for a silver bullet solution, yet the reality is that the Canadian policy tool kit that has long supported local TV broadcasting is now nearly exhausted. And there have been no indications politicians or policy-makers are willing to consider radical reform of the Canadian broadcasting landscape by relying more heavily on community access channels, or creating new demand for commercial advertising on private broadcasters by shifting to a commercial-free CBC.
The committee will hear much about "business-to-business" solutions. However, it appears the answer will ultimately lie in asking Canadians to pay – directly or indirectly – for the continuation of local broadcasting in a digital era.

Ant Based Self-Organized Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The field of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is an important and challenging research area today. Advancements in sensor networks enable a wide range of environmental monitoring and object tracking applications. Moreover, multihop routing in WSN is affected by new nodes constantly entering/leaving the system. Therefore, biologically inspired algorithms are reviewed and enhanced to tackle problems arise in WSN. Ant routing has shown an excellent performance for sensor networks. Certain parameters like energy level, link quality, lose rate are considered while making decisions. These decisions will come up with the optimal route. In this paper, the design and result of ant based autonomous routing algorithm for the sensor networks is presented.

I know approximately for some, just based on my own salary and things friends have said. Also know a few of the top brass' salaries because of office gossip. :-p

Our local paper publishes all the area government job salaries on its website. So yes, I know exactly how much less I earn than other employees in my office (and all the other gov't offices in the surrounding counties).
Advah 5 years
Yes-ish: we all know each other's "band" (ie band 7 is from £15k-£17.5k), but I don't know exactly how much they make within that band.
sweetpeabrina 5 years
Yes. Our salaries are public record and I've looked!
mek123 5 years
I know what people make at my client since I prepared the budget. And I did payroll at my former company so I knew what everyone made, I agree with the other posters that it is tough to know what someone who doesn't work hard makes in comparison to those to who work hard and are underpaid.

i know their range within 10K because i know their levels
telane 5 years
I do payroll, too, so I know. It can be really frustrating for me to know what someone does get paid per hour when they're on the same level as me... Mostly because a couple of the people who get paid more only actually "work" for about an hour or two out of an eight hour day. Part of the reason I have the responsibility of payroll is because of my ability to be professional and keep my nose out of things, but it is so hard sometimes to keep my mouth shut, lol.
bellaressa 5 years
No, not at all.

Nope, and I'd prefer to keep it that way. Although, it's hard not to be slightly curious!

i clicked the wrong one - i know how much a few people make but not all of them. it's kind of frustrating to not know what someone who's 'on your level' makes to know if you're under paid or not

She actually has a lot of power and sometimes she exercises it. For instance, in Australia (another one of her domains) she dissolved the parliament there via her proxy, John Kerr. This was 1975 so it was not recent but neither was it that long ago.
For the most part, the Aussies were grateful as both their parties had descended into a mutual death spiral. The dissolution allowed the common man to give their politicians a good kicking in the subsequent elections.

America is the World's pre-eminent super power but as soon as their boys start returning home in body bags, they lose the taste for war. Do you think Iran doesn't know this?
You can't compare Iran with Iraq. Iran is 4 times as large, over twice as populated and (unlike Iraq) largely ethnically homogenous and pretty unified. They lost between 300 000 and 600 000 in their war with Iraq and suffered chemical attacks but they still repelled the invaders (who were being assisted by the US). Can you image America taking even a small percentage of those casualties?

"Following the liberation of Kuwait, reporters were given access to the country and found the story of stolen incubators unsubstantiated....
"In 1992, it was revealed that [the woman giving testimony] was the daughter of Saud bin Nasir Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of the Citizens for a Free Kuwait public relations campaign which was run by Hill & Knowlton for the Kuwaiti government.

"[B]y claiming the Quran as a basis for the laws of your country, you're inherently going to bias them towards Muslims."
That would be directly contrary to the Constitution (as quoted in my previous post).
Also, I don't see non-Christians being discriminated against in Western countries whose constitutions are clearly based on Christian values.
Good point about the "the 3 Abrahamic religions" being covered in the Constitution, though.
"In addition, it describes the details as being set in law, which means they're completely subject to change at any time, not an absolute right as we would consider it."
How do you make something an absolute right? You can't. Putting it in the Constitution (which declares your legal modus operandus) is the best way but even that is subject to change. The American constitution has had 27 amendments, most recently in 1992.
"As for the issue of the legitimacy of the constitution itself, the High Constitutional Court ruled it was illegitimate..."
So, unelected judges mostly appointed during a dictator's 30 year reign trump the will of the people?
"I don't believe 33% is a reasonable number to have voted on it..."
With respect, it doesn't matter what you think. The majority of people who voted were in favour of it. That's all that counts in a democracy.
If you claim there was systematic coercion, then please present some evidence and an explanation why nobody thought this was worth reporting. Otherwise, this is speculation and not relevant to the discussion.
What's so surprising about an Islamic country having an Islamic constitution? Most Christian countries have Christian principles enshrined in their laws too. The monarch of the UK for instance is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
"Considering he used his power to prevent the constitution from being altered..."
If the people didn't like the constitution as Morsi's team wrote it, they had the chance to reject it in the referendum of December 2012. They didn't. They voted for it by a majority of 64%.
"...and he's a part of a strong Islamist group"
You mean the coalition that won a fair election?
Obviously, I've not read all the former Egyptian Constitution but it does have this proviso in it:
"Citizens are equal before the law and are equal in general rights and duties without discrimination between them based on gender, origin, language, religion, belief, opinion, social status or disability."

That doesn't sound that terrifying to me. Now, compare that to Egypt's neighbour, Saudi Arabia, where women are not even allowed to drive and I, as a non-Muslim, do not have the same rights in court as a Muslim. Yet, I don't see us supporting a coup there...

i have 2 bottles of 1990 vintage perrier jouet champagne in my fridge, on their sides... drinkable or flower vases-in-waiting?
i offer no explanations or excuses just need info please - thanks...
re: dinwiddie
i bought them in 1999 - they may have been exposed to warmer than optimal, but don't remember for how long - in the fridge for years...
re: peridot79
It won't kill you, so you may as well open it/them up and taste them. The WORST thing that can happen is that you say, "Yuck!" and pour it out. The BEST thing that can happen is that you say "Yum!" and enjoy it . . .
re: peridot79
They've been in your fridge since 1999? That's 12 years. I knew a woman who did something similar with a 1985 Dom Perignon. She saved it so long that by the time she opened it, it wasn't worth drinking.
I'd open them tonight. And in the future, the refrigerator is not the place for long storage of any wines. Neither the temperature nor the humidity is compatible with extended wine storage.
re: ChefJune
NOR the vibration . . .
A friend recently brought a similarly aged bottle of PJ. It went in the vinegar crock and we drank Pinot noir.
Open bottle 1, if bad, open bottle 2, if bad open something else.
Open bottle 1, if bad, open bottle 2, if good drink it!
Open bottle 1, if good, drink it, and in celebration, open bottle 2, if drinkable drink; if not open something else!!1
Storing in the fridge is really only problematic for drying out the cork which could allow for oxidation. I'd be more concerned about what stresses those bottles saw before making their way to your fridge. Champagne improves drastically with bottle age, and the extremely high acidity will allow it to age for quite a long time.
Is it the Cuvee Fleur? Belle Epoque blanc or rose? You might be in for a treat. Don't let the first whiff/taste throw you - feel free to pour it off into a decanter if really musty smelling.
re: Ricardo Malocchio
"Storing in the fridge....drying out the cork which could allow for oxidation"....not that I keep bottles in fridge for any extended period of time, but good to know!
As a friendly tip, the refrigerator is better than 80 degree plus heat for short periods of time (even - and this is my opinion not scientific - a whole summer). There is a high chance though that it will mess with the wine eventually.
If they have been stored on their sides, my hunch is that they will be pretty good.
Be sure to post back and tell us how they turned out! Lots of us here want to know...
I agree that those wines will not harm you.
Some of the effervescence might have dissipated, but could well be fine.
Enjoy, and let us know how good they were.
UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE -- firstly, thanks to all who offered advice in reply to my post (this is fun!) - i just want to say that i did open "bottle 1" and (drum roll...) our ears were delighted by that lovely "pop" only a champagne cork can make (so far, so good...) into perfectly chilled glasses we poured 22 year-old, sumptuously amber, bubbly (yes! bubbly!) perrier jouet belle epoque -- we toasted to all the things we should have toasted with this before now and to our amazement, relief and joy, it was lovely!!!
considering the far less than optimal conditions that this bottle experienced i'm really surprised it was as good as it was. it had a bit of a musky, earthy quality to it (not in any way unpleasant), but definitely drinkable and quite enjoyable.
so, we didn't open "bottle 2", but will definitely be doing so in the foreseeable future and hope to report equally good results.
the moral of the story is that sometimes we luck out, but since life is so unpredictable, don't save the "good stuff" for last - have it now and enjoy!
re: peridot79
>>>our ears were delighted by that lovely "pop" only a champagne cork can make<<<
Next time, please don't! Try prying out cork as quietly as you can:
The cork should not pop. As the saying goes, "The ear's gain is the palate's loss." You waste bubbles when you pop the cork. When properly executed it should come off with a quiet sigh.
re: peridot79
As RicRios says, try to remove the cork as "soundlessly" as possible. Try turning the bottle in one direction, and the cork in another -- as if you are "unscrewing" the lid from a jar.
re: peridot79
That is great news!
Champagne, like many wines, is pretty hearty stuff, but CAN be damaged.
I agree with RicRios, in that with chilled Champagne (~ 45 F), I want to elicit a "pfffft," when I do "pop the cork." If I hear a "pop," I usually suspect too high a temp, or a faux pas, on my part.
--to clarify -- the bottle WAS opened by gently twisting it out (we're not barbarians) and the "pop" was not a launch-across-the-room variety, but rather a soft, mellow sound which was delightful to us in this instance in that it indicated that there were bubbles -- we had no idea what to expect and had a back up option as we had our doubts that it would be drinkable at all.
maybe our palates lost out a bit, but it couldn't have been much, we enjoyed the entire bottle, when i had more expected to end up pouring it down the sink...
we were happy - isn't that what matters?
I had a feeling these bottles were going to be OK. Old PJ holds up pretty well, even if mistreated a bit. Glad it all worked out.
Glad to hear that bottle is showing well. From what I understand, the PJ Flower Bottle/Belle Epoque vintage to beware of right now is the maybe-not-otherwise-declared-rushed-out-for-the-millenium 1998.
For whatever reason, I've "sensed" over the years that sparklers are more durable (not necessarily longer aging--of course all depends on style/producer/vintage etc--I mean better able to withstand some mistreatment) than still wines. But I have no facts to prove that. When I try to think critically about it, part of me says the opposite should be true.
Does anyone have a take on this?
re: ellaystingray
<sparklers are more durable ... than still wines>
This is accurate.
The wine: higher acidity than still wine; CO2 is a potent preservative. Keeps sparkling wine fresher than still wine.
The bottle: darker, thicker, stronger bottle than a still-wine bottle.. Bottle construction and deep punt means bottle is able to withstand 7-8 atmospheres pressure. Darker, thicker glass keeps light out.
The cork closure: bigger, thicker, tighter cork means that a poorly stored sparkler will have less damage or leakage than a poorly stored still wine.
I'm sure there's more information related to the durability of Champagne because of its wine chemistry; that the chemical compounds in Champagne make its flavors more durable, but that would require research. I've seen allusions to this, but no documents on this specifically yet.
re: maria lorraine
<<The bottle: darker, thicker, stronger bottle than a still-wine bottle.. Bottle construction and deep punt means bottle is able to withstand 7-8 atmospheres pressure. Darker, thicker glass keeps light out.>>
So glad to read that. Here, and elsewhere, I have offered my personal observations, and calculations, regarding the punt design, for higher psi wines, including many charts from my days designing unfired pressure vessels, and most just scoff. They cannot grasp the concepts of pressure distribution, and usually offer meaningless arguments. However, they are not engineers, so they can be excused.
Thank you,
re: maria lorraine
To add to the great analysis of Maria, I can attest from opening an '82 PJ Fleur de Champagne a couple weekends ago that the materials used to bottle older vintage champagnes were also far sturdier than what is offered nowadays. I and my friends who enjoyed the bottle with me were all amazed at how heavy the foil enclosure covering the cork was. The foil was thick and weighed over a 1/4 of a pound by itself.
And the '82 PJ FdC was scrumptious in an aged champagne way (i.e. almost Sauternes like but still with more than vestiges of the acidity, apple pear and brioche that I love in a quality champagne). While the provenance wasn't superb (had been stored in a basement in its original box, but not temperature controlled), it had held up remarkably well.
since bottle 1 had held up so well lo these 22 years, i decided to save bottle 2 for thanksgiving and am delighted to report it was as enjoyable (if not marginally more so) than bottle 1!
so, it appears this was a very forgiving champagne (and, lord knows, i've a lot for which to be forgiven...) and i, for one, am quite thankful for that.
-end of story : )
re: peridot79
Congratulations! Glad it all turned out well . . .
re: peridot79
That is great news!
We often see posts, along the lines of "Is ____ still good?"
Normally, the answer is, "depending on the storage conditions - maybe yes, but maybe no." There are so many variables. We normally say "drink, but have a backup handy."
Sometimes there are marvelous surprises, when a white wine has managed to evolve into something really special, when none of us anticipated that, and then instances, where an age-worthy big red had died, and prematurely. One takes their chances - hence the rec. for a backup wine.
Glad that your two bottles were still showing well, and glad that you enjoyed.
Thank you for reporting.
re: Bill Hunt
Has been under a kitchen cabinet in a dark cool and controlled temp
re: johndavis
Dark is good.
Cool is good, but a constant temp, with little fluctuation, is even better. The rapid change in temp, is about the biggest enemy of wine/wine products. Only direct sunshine for long periods will be as damaging.
Good luck,
Storing wine in the fridge is like putting it into suspended animation . . . It won't truly age, but it won't go bad either. My guess is that these sparklers taste almost exactly as they would have before going into the fridge.
But this gives me an important reminder . . . I have a few bottles of 1988 and 1990 Dom P, as well as a couple 1990 Fluery Pere & Fils that have all been stored in my cellar at 57 F since I purchased many years ago (1990 anniversary wine). I am considering taking them out of the cellar and storing them in the "man" fridge in the garage, lest they start to decline any further before consumption (Anniversaries).
What do you all think of this idea of refrigerating them? Is it time for suspended animation? Are they still getting better or only declining? Everything I read says their prime window is quickly coming to a close so I'm inclined to put them in the fridge. Any reasons to do this pro or con?
re: RhonelyInsanediego
clearly, i'm no expert and can only go on my experience. these bottles were not in the fridge the entire time i owned them. for a while they were in a reasonably cool environment, but were likely exposed to higher than optimal temperature (have no idea for how long) and that's why i opted for the fridge.
having enjoyed my share of champagne over the years i really feel these two bottles did change over time as they had soft overtones of a dessert wine and were so smooth and velvety, they were far different from anything i've ever had.
so, if i were you i'd stop waiting to enjoy the lovely bottles you've been storing. life is short and uncertain. what are you waiting for? enjoy!
re: RhonelyInsanediego
One of the "possible" issues with the 'fridge, is the vibration that is usually associated with them. However, I have grabbed a few sparklers, that spent more time in my wine 'fridge, than I intended, to find them flawless.
Until just before consumption, I keep my sparklers, with my other wines, in the cellar at 55F.
re: Bill Hunt
I believe that constant or excessive vibration could be a factor, but the kind of mild and infrequent vibration from a fridge I don't believe is a real factor, especially one with a relatively low duty cycle.
How many high end wine lockers are essentially electric fridges with a low duty cycle?
I buy 1950's era stand-up frost free freezers (they cool evenly from top to bottom and have all metal compressors that will probably outlast me), and swap in a $200 high end thermostat. The duty cycle is ridiculously low and even when it does come on it's usually not for long and I can't notice any real internal vibration. This way I get a very nice wine locker that holds 12+ cases and usually costs me around only $300. Essentially the same type of thing would cost me 8 - 10 times as much to purchase at Cost-Co and won't last as long. I have a close friend who owns a well known and highly regarded vineyard and winery that does the exact same thing for some of his personal in home wine storage. We have been doing this for almost 30 years with no issues and lots of great wine.
re: RhonelyInsanediego
BTW I am able to keep my wine lockers at exactly 57 F +/- 0.2 degreees
re: RhonelyInsanediego
When you say "wine lockers," what, exactly, are you talking about?
I think of a large, refrigerated building, like 55 Degrees in Napa, with storage. There, the building is early 1900's, with major cooling, so no vibration, other than seismic activity.
re: Bill Hunt
I don't really know what to call them. Wine locker, wine cellar, wine fridge, wine freezer?
Whatever, each works beautifully and maintain a very constant temp, and because they are frost free freezers, they cool evenly from top to bottom, are very well insulated, and thus have a very low duty cycle. I store about 150 bottles in each one.
re: RhonelyInsanediego
Ah, I think that you might be talking about a piece of furniture, like a EuroCave unit.
Got you, and sorry for my confusion.
In most such units, the vibration from the cooling units are isolated pretty well, so should never be an issue.
Thank you for the clarification.
re: Bill Hunt
Great way to go for the person just looking to get into collecting or even for the more established collector as they are essentially modular and as your collection expands you can just add a new one relatively inexpensive. Penny Saver is usually where I find these old frost free freezers.
re: RhonelyInsanediego
Just curious: how do you convince a freezer to stay at 55ºF ?
re: RicRios
By buying it a "$200 high end thermostat".
re: JAB
Yes, I was lucky enough to be able to salvage a few really nice digital electronic temperature controllers from inside a couple devices my work had tossed out as junk. Grainger has controllers from $50 to $450, but you can get something with pretty good performance (+/- 1 degree accuracy) for around $100. If you want better accuracy than that (in the +/- 0.2 degree range), you are looking at controllers around $200 or more.
Once you have a few dozen bottles, the thermal mass of the liquid keeps temps from fluctuating very much and thus a very low duty cycle. One thing to consider is that if you are controlling to a greater degree of accuracy the duty cycle of the compressor will be more frequent, but with shorter durations as opposed to something less accurate which will come on less frequently, but for a little longer duration. Even at +/- 0.2 degrees my lockers probably come on for a couple minutes only about once an hour.
