Commentary for Pesachim 16:13

הכי קאמר כל מקום שאין מכניסין בו חמץ אין צריך בדיקה ואוצרות יין ואוצרות שמן נמי אין צריך בדיקה ובמה אמרו שתי שורות במרתף מקום שמכניסין בו חמץ ובמסתפק:

Had we merely ascended in order to bathe in the thermal springs of Tiberias, it would have sufficed us,' with the result that the pilgrimage would not be for its own sake. THEN IN WHAT CASE DID THEY RULE, TWO ROWS OF THE WINE CELLAR [etc.]? Who has mentioned anything about a wine cellar? - This is what he [the Tanna] says: EVERY PLACE WHEREIN NO LEAVEN IS TAKEN DOES NOT REQUIRE SEARCHING, and stores of wine and stores of oil do not require searching either.
