NYC offsite storage : any recent experience with MWC?

WINE TALK
1

All,

I would love to hear if people here have had any recent experience with MWC.

Background: Currently I store wines at Domaine and those who have used Domaine would know that Domaine charges per locker, in increments of 10 cases. A lot of my wine is in solid cases of 6x750 ml and Domaine has said that they are going to count that as a full case. Given most of that wine is in OWCs/ OCBs, I don’t want to consolidate it.

So I am thinking of getting secondary storage at MWC. In the past they did not have space at their Clifton facility but have now built a new facility in Ramsey, NJ. MWC also charges in increments of 10 cases but they count a case as 9 liter of wine. So if you have two 6x750ml cases, it gets counted as one 9 liter case (or any other combination of 9 liter ). So that makes it a better storage option for half cases.

I just wanted to get feedback from people who have used MWC before going ahead with them.

Thanks a lot.

I don’t but several friends are happy with them and I trust Marc Hanes.

And if you visit Ramsey you can go to the Bottle King and get pizza and egg creams at Kinchleys

MWC is good. There is the occasional issue but they always fix it to your satisfaction, which is what really matters. I wouldn’t have any reservations about using them.

I store quite a bit of wine there and I am very happy. Most of it is German, a lot of it is rare hard to decipher stuff. Marc and Steve go out of their way to input everything correctly and compare against invoices.

I also like that I can send wine to the retail store for me to pick up because I don’t have a doorman and have a crazy schedule.

I also store at MWC. Marc Hanes who posts here is very competent. There have been occasional mistakes on classification or vintage of bottles but easily corrected.

Has Domaine changed policies? When I stored with them, their Locker sizes were based on how many of THEIR lay flat boxes could fit in the locker … however much would fit in the locker was up to you in terms of how you boxed it.

I have clarified it with them a couple of times and that’s what they have told me. In fact very clearly spelled out via email.

Hi Dinesh, thanks for the dialogue on our services and looking forward to helping you enjoy your wine collection going forward. After some time of operating with a new client waiting list, MWC is very excited to have our second facility up and running so we can accept all comers!

For others in the future looking for storage I can’t recommend Marc and his team more highly.
