Description

America’s love of wine has spurred a collecting and entertaining phenomenon.

Some of The united states’s most passionate oenophiles have re-invented the wine cellar as an inviting and beautiful a part of the home.

True collectors love to share their passion, and this book offers a tour of their distinctive cellars. Created with the assistance of probably the most best designers in the field, these rooms blend luxurious design aesthetics with ingenious storage solutions. The thirty stunning spaces featured include a traditional wood cellar finished with rich paneling and ornate lighting; a cathedral-like space that showcases ironwork inspired by the French Quarter of New Orleans (and has a secret entry from a library inside the house); an inviting living room lined with temperature-controlled wood alcoves in the back of insulated glass; and an Old World terra-cotta cellar–within a sprawling entertainment center that features a wet bar, a billiards table, and a tasting room.

Living with Wine reveals the main points that make the cellars a welcoming place to go back–from the materials, artwork, lighting, and state of the art preservation technology to the way the space harmonizes with the remainder of the house. From the Bay Area to Boston, Napa to New York, homeowners such as Nancy and John Lasseter, the founder of Pixar Studios; American Idol host and TV and radio personality Ryan Seacrest; and entrepreneur Rick Ryan share insights into what they collect, why they started collecting, and how they designed their spaces to fit their passion.

This elegant volume shows what it means to love and collect wine.
