The Widow on Windsor in Springfield, Ill (217 744-3735) carries old riddling racks. I do not think they are antiques.

No, working on our new house in Indiana and working on what will be the wine cellar/tasting room of the house and want to do some of the walls in riddling racks.nr706 wrote:Making your own sparkling wine?is making all his reservations under the name Steve Plotnicki from now on.

Post #8 - May 30th, 2008, 5:48 pmAhhh, but of course. Since I've been a winemaker for over 35 years I knew what a riddling rack was, but in the context of sparkling wine making. Couldn't figure out what it was doing as a topic in "Shopping and Cooking".
So now I understand.
But the ones I think about nowadays are automatic, like these in a Spanish cava:
Probably not the sort of thing you'd want in your cellar...

Is this a DIY-type project? If so, I'd love it if you'd post about your experiences getting one going. I have (longer-range) plans to put a wine cellar in my house, albeit a very rustic version.

Absolutely- my vision of the space is to turn it into a space similar to that of the caves at Schamsberg- dark, with dull lighting and an impeccably clean space in which to store wine as well as to have people over for tasting.aschie30 wrote:jpschust wrote:

Post #11 - May 31st, 2008, 7:49 pmInteresting DIY on riddling here. They do mention a source for DIY riddling rack plans, but it's not online. I know I saw some being built on a design show, and they looked dead-easy to make (a hole saw bit, wood and hinges and you're there). Interesting that this is clearly a popular design element, and yet there don't seem to be a lot of sources for them.
