“The most important thing about building your wine cellar is the wine! How you organize it is very important, especially as your wine cellar goes. I try to organize my cellar according to how I drink my wine. I first arrange them into wine regions (like Bordeaux, Sonoma Pinot Noir, Domestic Syrah, etc.) since I most pair my wine with food when I drink. Then, I arrange it by year and then producer so that I can more easily find a bottle that I am looking for. Lastly, those wines that I plan to drink more often will reside in a diamond bin rather than an individual bottle rack since these are more accessible and easy to sort through. That’s where I put our Sol Rouge 2016 Petite Sirah that was awarded Top 100 Wines of the Year by Wine Enthusiast Magazine. The more easily you can find your wine, the faster you can enjoy it.”
