14 years seems like a relatively long life - with a track record like that, it would be worthy of being considered as a replacement unit IMO. What make and model did you go with? | |||

I kept the storage unit and racking, just replacing the cooling unit. Original was a Vintage Keeper 044 MINI KOOL model AZMIN circa 1999. The replacement cooling unit is a Nuvo. Installation was fairly smooth. I've kept in in the basement (relatively cool) and fairly full so it didn't have to work too hard. That may have helped make it last. | |||

6-pack of 2010 Chapoutier Bila-Haut Cote du Roussillon Occultem Lapidem | |||
|
| Member |
I read about this in the CdR thread under Tasting Notes. So I went out in search of the Bila-Haut. I found two different bottles though, one was Bila-Haut Occultem Lapidem and the other was just Bila-Haut Cote du Roussillon. I wonder which one Board-O and DoktaP were referring to? I ended up just picking up the Bil-Haut Cote du Roussillon. | |||
|
| Member |
They are both really good for the money, but the Lapidem is better IMO. | |||

I assume it is for tonight's offline  | |||

Thanks! I will give that one a try as well. I think it was $15 for the normal Bila Haut and $25 for the Lapidem. | |||
|
| Member |
$11 and $19 in SoCal, but I would still buy both at your prices. Quality juice and while the Lapidem drinks well now, I think it could improve a little with age. | |||

 Looking forward to it, Mim! | |||
