Looking for advice on wine storage units

CaptainCheese

I am in the market for a wine storage unit. I live on the coast in Southern Cal, and thus using a basement or an actual cellar is not an option (basements are not permitted here). We also like to avoid using air conditioning, so the house can get close to 80 degrees on the 1 or 2 hot days we have per year. I am looking to put the unit in either a closet or under a counter.

I am leaning towards and undercounter version because I don't anticipate looking to place more than 40-50 bottles in long term storage. I don't care about dual zone, as I am just looking for a place to store some bottles for 5-10 years and the only wines I keep that long are reds (e.g., some first growths, grand crus, etc my wife and I pick up on vacation).

I am presently looking at a Perlick signature series wine reserve and the Eurocave (available through Wine Enthusiast). I am curious if anyone has any thoughts or recommendations.
