What would be more detrimental to the long term storage of my wine? A 55° compressor driven wine refrigerator with some mild vibration or 63° +/- 3° closet with no vibration. Thank you!

We have a boat and keep wine aboard. Nothing is nicer than a glass of wine at sunset on the back of the boat! Or any time for that matter! The question is due to swings in temperature on the boat, it can get warm during the week and then cool on the weekends as we run the AC, what impact or damage is that doing to the wines? Would I be better off keeping all the whites and reds in the refrigerator and take out the reds as needed? Will staying chilled too long be an issue?
Hello! I've been asking you questions fairly frequently lately and, as I said in an earlier question/comment, I cannot thank you enough for the time and effort you put into this Q&A thing, and may I say to your readers, I hope they can appreciate what a privilege it is to speak with one of the very few masters of wine around the world, and one who goes out of his way to answer any type of question as conscientiously as possible. It would be irrelevant to think that you have a business interest in doing this as you're past needing the publicity exposure. So thank you very much for doing this! My question: what are your favourite wines in your cellar? I'm asking that just as I would ask a writer what books he keeps on his bedside table. What are the "to-drink" must haves that you always have on hand in your cellar (not those that you may collect long-term as that would be a completely different matter which would not help me consume better)? Wines that you may eat with something or enjoy before or after a meal, whatever the circumstances, whatever the colour? Many thanks!
I got a job at the Bellevue as a Bartender, I would like to know how to choose good wine for steak and seafood.
We will be having a potluck dinner for 25 people. I know there are many wine drinkers in this group. Can you suggest a good mix of wine, reds and whites, that we could have on hand that would satisfy our guests. This is obvously very informal - the wine doesn't have to cost a fortune, but I would like most guests to be able to find something they would enjoy. Thank you
If the grapes are dried before making the Amarone wine, where does the juice come from?
If I have purchased an expensive bottle of wine that was displayed standing up, is it OK to lay it down on it's side for longer term storage? I have heard that changing a bottle from standing to side storage back and forth can be bad because once the wine isn't kept in contact with the cork and then is in contact again can affect the wine negatively.
