Tech Tuesday #83 – Spunky All-Heart Redwood Wine Closet with Glass Transom

Remember that saying that great things come in small packages? There’s a whole lot of truth in that and we’re here to prove it! Today’s Tech Tuesday will show you guys that once again, lack of space is not such a big deal in a wine cellar project. If you are creative enough and you know how to utilize the right resources, you can still turn out remarkable wine cellar transformations. Check this super compact yet beautiful wine cellar closet in Clear All-Heart Redwood:

What: Residential Wine Cellar
Project #: 201511
Wood: Clear All-Heart Redwood, Platinum Series
Maximum Capacity: 864
Where: Cranford, NJ

Unlike any wine cellar closet we’ve created before, this one sports Glass Doors with a Transom on top. Now we’re all familiar with how glass doors can make smaller spaces appear bigger than they look. Plus, they make the perfect combination with wine cellar LED lights, giving any wine cellar a vibrant and truly attractive appeal. With a glass Transom added in, it gives standard glass doors a dramatic, stylish twist. We also offer a huge selection of wine cellar doors for highly unique entryways, from glass panels to pure wood inspirations and wrought iron grilles and gates.

Even when you have a limited space for a custom wine cellar, we can make it work for you with the right wine racking system. Here, the Platinum Series makes another amazing statement to its flexibility. As our top of the line series, it can provide any wine cellar project regardless of the size and style with all the wine racking options it needs. Look at how this closet can easily hold more than 800 bottles in full-depth storage. There’s even enough space for larger-sized bottles and magnums as well as wine boxes and crates thanks to the wine shelves an displays at the bottom of the racking system. A standard archway was incorporated to give an added edge to the entire set-up and also to create the illusion of a wider space.

Last but certainly not the least, the wood choice was certainly the most suitable one for this project. Clear All-Heart Redwood has gorgeous reddish gold tones that stand out even when unstained. Moreover, a compact wine cellar such as this one would be glad to know that this wood choice is highly resistant to rot, decay, and disease. And of course, anything Redwood from the WCI online store is SFI-certified which makes this an eco-friendly choice to boot!

As that famous Bengali polymath Rabrindanath Tagore said, “Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” Putting together small wine cellar dreams can also lead to bigger ones in the future!

Wood: Premium Redwood, Vintner Series
Maximum Capacity: 900
Where: Akron, OH

If you’re just about suitably impressed with Vintner till now, we’re willing to bet that after seeing this wine cellar, you’ll be totally blown away. We’ve been promoting our top-of-the-line Vintner Series wine rack kit since forever but each wine cellar project utilizing the same leaves us awe-inspired. This uber gorgeous circular wine cellar gives us more reasons to love Vintner and its almost limitless flexibility.

The individual bottle storage racks combined with Open Diamond Bins for bulk storage purposes span the length of the odd-shaped room flawlessly. We’re also loving the custom Dark Walnut stain on the racks because it brings out the beautiful grain patterns of Premium Redwood. Now we know that we’ve featured a number of Vintner and Premium Redwood combinations in our previous Tech Tuesdays. This is exactly how wine cellar enthusiasts can gauge the versatility factor of both the wine rack kit and the wood choice. Notice that despite the similar combos, each wine cellar transformation has been remarkably distinct!

Here’s a closer view of the individual bottle storage racks. See how the grain patterns of the wood have become more enhanced with the Dark Walnut Stain? Premium Redwood lends itself to stains and finishes exceptionally well and if you wish for a more solid and elegant look to your wine racking system, Dark Walnut is an excellent choice. Check out our collection of custom stains and finishes and see how they work in achieving a bevy of looks for any wine cellar. The client also opted to add lacquer to give the racks a sophisticated and polished finish.

We didn’t get shots of it but the client also purchased one of our WineZone wine cooling units. Just as Vintner Series is to wine racks, WineZone is like its twin when it comes to wine refrigeration systems. WineZone offers so many options when it comes to custom wine cellar refrigeration so do check out our available units.

Last but definitely not the least, the entire wine racking system is topped off with custom crown and base moldings, courtesy of the Vintner Series wine rack kit. There are so many options to choose from as well, with custom moldings to fit your Corner Curved Wine Racks for a perfect, seamless touch as you can see from these photos.

So what do you think? Did the tour inspire you? We couldn’t imagine that it didn’t, especially with these tantalizing photos. Just imagine how everything would look when the entire wine cellar is all filled up! Hopefully, we give you guys a glimpse of the completed wine cellar in the future, too. Join us again next week and feast your eyes on more amazing wine cellar projects. ^_^

Technical Tuesday Episode #80 – Magnificence Reborn With The Platinum Series In Amber Blaze Mahogany

“Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.”

~ Edgar Allan Poe ~

Well, this Tech Tuesday episode is definitely something to be excited about! As far as beautiful wine cellars go, today’s feature is certainly going to stay up in the rankings for a LONG time.  What we have here today is one of the most formidable combinations when it comes to classic, luxurious wine cellars: the Platinum Series in Amber Blaze Mahogany.

What: Residential Wine Cellar
Project #: 217539
Wood: Amber Blaze, Platinum Series
Maximum Capacity: 1043
Where: Parker, CO

If you are aiming for a truly exceptional wine cellar that sports all the right elements, then the Platinum Series is the only way to go. From individual to bulk bottle storage, single and double deep storage options, this series contains the most complete collection of wine racks, win displays, bins, shelves, and more. Just take a look at how certified eye-candy the client’s wine room turned out thanks to extensive variety of the wine racking options.

A closer view of the racks here shows you the trademark feature of the Platinum individual bottle racks: the beveled rails and eased edges.  So whether you store wine bottles, champagne, or larger-sized bottles and magnums, you’re assured of the secure an comfy storage of each one. Plus, the labels won’t tear off when you remove or replace the bottles.

We can’t help but be fascinated by the absolutely exquisite wood carvings done on this wine rack decor. Certainly, the wood choice of the client is most suitable for the intricate wood carvings done in several portions of the entire wine racking system as you can witness from the images here.

Amber Blaze Mahogany is probably the ultimate choice when it comes to turning out a genuinely luxurious wine cellar transformation. It’s not the cheapest wood choice you can make but it’s worth every dollar you shell out for. It belongs to an extremely dense hardwood species and is mostly utilized for furniture projects. When it comes to wine cellars, it’s definitely the wood choice to be made if you have the right budget and you are really considering an above-average project.

For the stain option, the client chose to go with Classic Mahogany. This is actually a clever choice since the natural dark, reddish-brown hues of Amber Blaze are gorgeously emphasized with this stain. Plus, the wood’s solid grain patterns show up spectacularly against the stain as well.

Strategic LED lighting options serve to highlight some of the best angles of the wine racks, particularly the wine displays. We also applaud the addition of the Quarter Round Wine Display and Quarter Round Corner Shelf which give a very dramatic  flair to the entire wine racking system.

Now if you’re going to go all out on your wine cellar, trying out something similar to this comes highly recommended! After all, why settle for other choices when you can have the very best combination in the Platinum Series and Amber Blaze Mahogany. Indeed, beauty in it’s supreme development will excite any wine cellar enthusiast to tears – just like today’s feature. ♥
