June/July 2008

More St. Louisans are now enjoying fine wines-collecting, sampling, and sharing with friends and family. And, once a new favorite is found, more are buying by the case or several bottles at a time. Soon, this collection starts being stashed in closets and corners until it becomes a storage problem.

PRIVATE AIR

In 1876, Beringer Vineyards of St. Helena, California, carved out hillside caverns to ensconce its bottlings. It's probably one wine lover in a million who can create such a space on his own property; fortunately, for the rest of us, other storage options exist in the form of wine cellars, libraries, and enclaves.

VENTANAS DEL VALLE-

Mountain Dreams Publishing


I used to think that having a wine cellar in your home was just a segment on Robin Leach's "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" or perhaps part of a chateau in Tuscany or along the French Riviera. Maybe a wine cellar was part of a Saudi Prince's pantry. Not so anymore. We have photographed several homes over the course of the last year with wine cellars. The advent of personal wine cellars goes hand in hand with the renaissance in the production of fine wines in the United States and particularly in the Napa and Sonoma valleys of Northern California.
