Craig,
Here in the Downriver Detroit area, alot of people (myself included) use a basement "cellar" to store beer and wine as the temperature stays cool year-round. If you really want a wine cellar, you'll need to control the temp and humidity, which can get very expensive. I'm a homebrewer and I keep all of my beer in the cellar without temperature control and as long as the beer doesn't freeze or get exposed to sunlight, it's fine...

This was my first effort. It is in a small closet under a stairway. The racks are curved in the corner. The racking is redwood and I put 1/4" redwood panelling on the walls on a 45 degree bias. I have a hole cut in the floor with a SPAN fan recirculating cool air from under the house. Worked OK, but not perfect for cooling.
I just finished building a dining room in my house. I put a big temp. controlled walk in cellar at the end of the room. That one is mahogany.

3' x 3'?
Sounds like you should just buy a pre-made rack and throw it against the wall. Images from Google: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&q=wine+cellar&btnG=Search
