I usually don't do anything with mine..
I just bring the pots/containers in..
and just stop watering them..
They're in a basement that's only heated by
the house furnace and two hot watertanks..
I also over winter believe it or not
one outside, on a south side, raised bed
with a cement sidewalk and a stonewall and
alot of mulch on top...
But I had tremendous luck and FUN with dahlia
SEEDS this summer.. what fun to have little baby
plants, and they bloomed..![[grin]](im/graemlins/grinnnn.gif)

Can't offer much more help on my end..
Can I ask when you said they were all shriveled up,
did you still try to plant them?

Don't forget to be kind to strangers. For some who have
done this have entertained angels without realizing it.

Hello,
I don't have an experience with dahlias but I started to store them a week ago with fungicide powder in vermiculite, some in paper back and then in cardboard box. Then I checked the other day and I found one tiny bug at the union (the bulbs have 2 or 3 little holes before). Anyway I spray, let them dried and store in a plastic grocery bag loosely tied. My friend said this method has more success.
