Now back to the topic at hand.
In the first home, the wine closet had a floor-to-ceiling glass front wall with a glass door. Located next to the family room counter and bar, it was certainly well placed to showcase an owner’s future accumulation of fine vintages. However, there was just one problem… the room was not air conditioned, making it just a warm closet.
The second property had wine cabinets in both the living room and the downstairs bar. The wooden cabinets were prominently featured, well lit, with racking for bottles to be stored on their sides. Every spot cradled an empty wine bottle. Very nicely displayed. The issue was… no air conditioning, making it a bookshelf behind glass.
