Wine Cellar Installations California – Laguna Beach Project (A Processed Video Transcription)

Wine Cellar Installations California – Laguna Beach Project .

Hey, we’re in Laguna Beach, California today and we’re going to take a short tour of a wine cellar installations California project that we actually completed last spring, I think April or May.  So let’s walk up the drive and take a look.

A Climate Controlled Wine Cellar – CellarPro Wine Cellar Cooling Units

We’re standing in the garage, so we’ll talk about the cooling unit.  This is the rear of a self-contained cooling unit.  These CellarPro wine cellar cooling units can deal with temperatures up to 110 degrees external temperature.

We don’t have to worry about it too much because we’re in Laguna Beach.  This is what the back side of the wine cellar cooling unit looks like.

The cut air exhaust comes out from the top here.  This is the filtration system for the intake and this comes in fiber glass replaceable filters or you can get a permanent aluminum frame and an aluminum filter that can be washed.

The Entryway Way – A Dual Paned Glass Wine Cellar Door

Okay, let’s take a look at the cellar.  When you come down this hallway it’s a little cramped down here.

The first thing you’ll notice is the wine cellar door that we provided the customer; it’s called a Barolo style wine cellar door.  It’s a dual pane insulated glass and gives a full view into the wine cellar.

All of our doors come with not only the dual pane glass, the stain, the finish, the casement molding (which is the trim around the perimeter of the door), weather stripping, the jamb, automatic door sweeps; in short, this door is ready to drop into any opening.  They are custom built to fit your particular opening.

Wine Storage and Wine Display Furniture

Let’s take a look at the inside of the wine cellar.  First you’ll notice on the left side of the wine room is this beautiful quarter round wine display rack.

Not only can you store large format bottles like 3-liter bottles, but it is also an excellent place to display some decorative items such as decanters.  It just makes a nice finish end to a length or a run.

For the most part these are 750 ml bottle openings.  These openings are 3 3/4″ x 3 3/4″ so they will accommodate just about any size bottle into the opening, including standard champagne, California blue chips, and Oregon Pinots.

Just below the cubbyholes, we’ve got a high reveal wine display row.  These are pitched to a 15 degree angle that not only allows you to show off your favorite labels, but also a good management tool because you can store wines above and below the wine display area.

At the very bottom, we created custom-size openings for the wood cases that he likes to collect and display.  As we pan towards the back of the wine room, here you can see we have some odd corners and turns that we had to make and so our installer Kyle did a great job in keeping that continuity and flow.

Single Bottle and Bulk Wine Storage

As we come to the right side of the wall, it’s more of the same thing – single bottle storage openings and high reveal wine display.  But in this particular wall, just below the display row, we have a horizontal label forward wine display.

Depending on the size of the bottle, this particular bottle is a magnum (or 1.5 L), but if you’re storing Bordeaux style bottles, you can store easily three deep in this particular opening.  So a total of six bottles can be potentially stored in this area.

Just below the horizontal display, we’ve got diamond bins for bulk storage.  This is a great way to manage wines for those of you who buy in 6 packs, 12 lots, that sort of thing.

This is what we call our regular arch, which has a beautiful whittle board effect or appearance and solid tabletop.  We’ve created an opening for puck lights and just above the arch is another horizontal opening for large format displays.

The cooling unit, as what we talked about earlier, is a CellarPro self-contained cooling unit.  This does not require professional installation, refrigerant lines, and drain lines.

You simply have the wine cellar installations expert create an opening on the wall, just slightly larger than the actual physical dimensions.  Put it in the wall, seal around it, and plug it in and your wine room’s cool.

LED Wine Cellar Lighting

We will talk a little bit about the wine cellar lighting.  Earlier we mentioned that we provided LED lighting for these display rows, so it will illuminate some of your favorite bottles.

We also included a puck light to illuminate the tabletop area.  The question I get from a lot of folks is what about the light fixtures for the ceiling?  What should I use?

Well, the answer is really not an answer because just about any light fixture can be used.  Of course, the height of your cellar would determine that.

In this particular case we were supplied with a low profile track wine cellar lighting and it’s somewhat directional.  Those can be turned to feature any portion of the wine cellar you’d like.

This light fixture here, the LED lights, and these two areas are actually on separate toddles.  Control the mood and the lighting by using one of the appropriate toddles.

All in all a fun wine cellar installations California project to work with and we’ll certainly like to help you design your project if you have one.  Reach out to us via our website www.winecellarsbycoastal.com or call me at 949-355-4376949-355-4376.
