This weekend
an article in the Tennessean brought my attention to
Baalbek Cellars, a company in Oregon that creates custom mahogany wine cabinetry. Their cellars are designed to be an important part of decor like a bookshelf. Their designs are classic with solid hand-carved mahogany doors and heavy beveled glass. The cases hold up to 117 bottles and are secured with a brass lock. There is a drawer at the bottom for wine-related gear and the case is kept at the proper temperature by a Koolspace chilling unit which has digital temperature control/auto humidity control. The cellars cost $4595 and they are currently sold out so getting your new wine cellar will take eight to ten weeks.
