Low voltage lighting was used throughout to control the quantity as well as the quality of light. The room’s sole door is glazed with insulated low-E glass to prevent extra light from harming the wines. The cellar features four Carderock stone columns supporting the double-barrel-vaulted Venetian plaster ceiling. The stone provides visual continuity with the graceful entry area, and blends with the hardy Vermont-slate floor. Three hand-built walnut wine storage units surround the seating area. © Bob Narod Photography and BOWA
