It just so happens I've been looking into this myself :-)

I've been looking at http://www.beveragefactory.com/ because they're
local to me. I was just at a wine dinner tonight, and met a couple, one
of whom is a CPA who has them as an account :-) They're both big-time
vinophiles, so I asked them for their opinion on a beginner's cellar.
They said they'd seen one at Costco or Home Depot Expo and suggested
that price was the only real factor... unless you're going to go nuts
with the appearance or get into dual-zone cellars, get something
inexpensive.

I'll check out Costco and HDE this weekend maybe, but if all else fails,
I can get a 40-50 bottle cooler for $170-$370 from the Beverage Factory.
