Let Gabriel's Wine Cellars Help You Select The Right
Furnishings For Your Custom Wine Cellar
GABRIEL'S PUTS YOU ON TRACK TO AN ATTRACTIVE, TROUBLE-FREE
WINE CELLAR
Gabriel's
Wine Cellars, Inc. can help you decide what kind of
wine cellar is best for the kinds of wine you enjoy,
the kind of entertaining you do, and the varieties of
wine in which you choose to invest.
Wine is alive! Wines stored in the home -- whether
upstairs or down in the basement -- will suffer from
variations in ambient temperature and humidity. Even
subtle temperature fluctuations will harm wine.
Wine that is hot will force itself out of the cork.
Wine that's too cold will suffer during aging.
Too little humidity can cause corks to shrink, causing
leakage, oxidation and complete spoilage. Too much will
cause labels to drop off bottles and encourage mold.
And while these problems can be just nuisances to the
casual wine drinker, they can be devastating to wine
collectors who see their inventory as an investment.
Some people have general contractors with little experience
or forethought build them basement wine storage areas.
Storage under these conditions can be fatal to living
wine, and the design may do little to relate the wine
storage area to the home interior or lifestyle of the
client.
Instead, let Gabriel's Wine Cellars help you
select the right equipment and accessories for your
new custom wine cellar. We take our clients step-by-step
through the process of building a wine cellar.
This
will include selection of dedicated refrigeration and
humidification equipment suited for the client's home
mechanical systems, plus determination of the right
amount of insulation and vapor barrier for that equipment
and the cellar location.
We'll also help you select the right wine racking systems
that will fit each customer's wine cellar needs and
available space. We'll help you choose racking systems
that can include floor-to-ceiling systems, sliding wood
case racks, or accommodations for single bottles and
champagne. They can include open diamond bins and large-format
displays for those big bottles.
We'll guide you through the right countertop, paneling
and flooring material choices in all materials including
stone, tile and natural wood that will further complement
your racking.
We know of exciting, modern features -- such
as hand-actuated or retinal-scan access control, or
digital environmental monitoring and data storage --
that will lend a subtle high-tech touch to a custom
wine cellar and tasting room redolent of Old World appeal.
When
it comes time to put it all together, our expert, specialty
craftsmen will put their experience -- gathered after
dozens of custom wine cellar installations -- to work
for you in making your dream wine cellar a reality.
And when your cellar is a reality, we will help you
select wines for stocking, and help match the right
stemware to those wines, for complete enjoyment now
and in the years to come.
For all these reasons, clients have been trusting Gabriel's
Wine Cellars, Inc. with designing, building and stocking
their custom cellars since 1998. Let us do the same
for you.
