Saw the 500 bottle Vintage Keeper for sale in Buffalo for about $1350, which got me thinking that that might be a smarter option than storing my wine in a specialized facility when we leave the country again at some point in the future.

Then on reviewing comments on the Vintage Keeper here, I noted that wine cellars seems to come up for sale from time to time, so....

Does anyone in Ontario, Quebec, Michigan or upstate New York have a 500 bottle wine cellar for sale?

email me at art dot sanchez at gmail dot com. I have someone who is getting rid of a cellar that you might be interested in speaking with.

Hey mav, thanks for the tip. I sent you a message.

$1,350 for a vk 500 is a good price. I would go for it.

Do the Vintage Keeper models have humidity control? I would like to buy a refigerated unit for proper storage and am looking for alternatives to the Sub-Zero models.

The VK seems like a good deal, but at that price i'm assuming it's temperature onlY?

I was also curious if anyone had humidity issue with the VintageKeepers, either the 220 or 500? VK seems like the most economical "decent" cellar on the market, but I was concerned if it had a humidity control function.
