As a savvy wine collector in the San Diego area, you aren’t going to trust your treasures to just anyone. Whether you have run out of space in your own home, or just want your wines stored and handled with a professional’s touch, choosing the right facility is of paramount importance.
It’s no secret that space is at a premium when it comes to wine storage in San Diego. Here are some crucial factors to consider, and why Chateau 55 is the perfect wine storage facility for you.
Quality Construction and Building Materials
It all begins with the structure itself. Only an authentic wine cellaring facility will create the environment necessary to keep your wines in pristine condition. And only an experienced and competent builder using first-tier construction materials will be able to create the facility you need. Make sure the facility you are considering was built specifically for storing fine wines.
Dedicated Climate Control
Inside your wine storage facility is where the magic happens, and it begins with keeping the wine at the ideal temperature and humidity. Ideally, you would like an automated cooling system with a high level of insulation in the storage areas. The temperature also needs to be monitored, and there should be a back-up system in place, just in case some unforeseen issue causes a fluctuation.
High Level Security Features
Security is another factor that cannot be compromised in a quality wine storage facility. It’s not uncommon for a facility to house millions of dollars’ worth of wine at any given time, which means there must be systems in place to guard against theft. Look for features like 24-hour surveillance cameras, high-tech security systems, third-party alarm monitoring and a secure, multi-step sign in process.
Experienced Management
Since your wine is going to be in the care of someone other than yourself, it’s comforting to know that the management team is experienced and has your best interests in mind. Look for a business that is transparent about its ownership and pricing policies. Ask if you can have a tour of the facility before you decide.
