I do a lot of online purchasing but not in the $2000.00 range. After I placed the order I received a call from Vintage to go over my order and ensure that the unit was right for the project. This reach out gave me confidence in my purchase. I then received an email from the owner thanking me and providing his contact info if needed. I received the unit on time in perfect condition. While installing the unit on the afternoon before Thanksgiving I had a question, called Vintage got thru immediately and resolved the question. > Vintage may sell online but they provide support like they're on site. > This was my first interaction with them but won't be my last. **Comment from Vintage Cellars & Saunas:** > Thank you so much for your kind words Bill.

The room came out beautiful but what impressed me the most was the responsiveness to my needs and the handling of little minor issues that came up during the process. Recently, over two years after the project was completed I had an issue with the cooling unit and called Jake even though it was a manufacturer issue he he responded to my call right away offered to help with the replacement. > In terms of "leanings" from the installation I would recommend the following: buy the more expensive heavy duty cooling unit, do not go with the case storage instead put in more individual bottle bins and finally get as many 2 bottle deep racks as possible. **Comment from Vintage Cellars & Saunas:** > Thank you for your kind words! It was an absolute pleasure working with you, and it brings me joy to hear that you're enjoying your wine cellar so much. We always do whatever we can here at Vintage Cellars to best serve our clients - we realize that issues may occur over time and we're always here to help the best that we can.

Cheers, > Gene, Jake, Chris, Dean, and the Vintage Cellars team **★★★★★ — Decorative Designs & Remodeling, Nov. 2015** > As a building professional I have completed several projects with Vintage Wine Cellars. Our design team collaborates with Jake on the room details and Jake masters the rack design. This team approach has worked really well for us. The crew are professional, knowledgeable, on time and on budget. The installers are a delightful group of guys too! **★★★★★ — danperl, Nov. 2015** > The experience at Vintage Cellars in total and Jake Austad in particular was excellent. The wine room construction was to exacting specifications and executed in an elegant manner. The attention to detail and customer service was exemplary, **★★★★★ — perlmanronald, Nov. 2015** > Vintage Cellars provided a great design. Their installation was perfect and we are very happy with the product. Our cellar holds about 900 bottles and we used metal holders. They were reasonably priced and look modern and clean. **★★★★★ — hobizzle, Nov. 2015** > Jake at Vintage Cellars was really helpful for a wine cellar novice like me. They have a range of products to cater for all budgets and I am absolutely thrilled with my under-stairway wine cellar, have had no issues at all in the first year and feel like I was sold the correct equipment for the space and my budget. All our guests love it and it's probably my favorite room in our house! **★★★★★ — Kings Road, Jan. 2015** > Dear Jake, > As you are aware, we have completed the construction at 403 Kings Road. I would like to take the time to thank those who I feel did a solid and timely completion of their contract. I know this may be rare, but i would like to thank you personally for your efforts. Unfortunately, not all of the sub-trades are getting this same review, only those like Vintage Cellars who did their part to make for a great project. > > Upon my next efforts, I will certainly contact you to submit plans for hopefully another successful venture. Thank you for your expertiese, professionalism and extra efforts on this project. > > D.D. **★★★★★ — modernreno, Aug. 2014** > As I was doing some renovations, I emailed Jake regarding some advice related to planning/building my wine cellar, as well as specific technical issues I was facing. I was very pleasantly surprised when he called me shortly after. Jake asked me a few questions and made some very specific and useful recommendations. > I was very impressed with his knowledge, professionalism and how easy it was to discuss the issues with him over the phone (I have never met him). > Now I can move forward confidently with the first steps, and the ability to hookup the appropriate cooling system and to expand the wine cellar into the adjacent room as needed. All of this without having to "redo" anything. I will definitely contact him when ready to move on with the full project. > > > Nathalie Pichette > Canada **★★★★★ — Sustainable Wine Cellars, LLC, Aug. 2014** > Jake and his staff of wine storage professionals set the bar for customer satisfaction in this industry.

I decided no to go ahead with my project but will definitely contact when I am. **Comment from Vintage Cellars & Saunas:** > Katie, > > I appreciate the kind words. If you are ever in the market to build a wine cellar, please look me up. > > jake **★★★★★ — xsands, Oct. 2013** > I had purchased cabinets from Vintage Cellars before, so when I planned a wine cellar in my home addition, they were my first call. I had concerns, being in West LA and their office being in San Diego. Jake had to make several visits to discuss electrical, lighting, ceiling height and how it had to be framed for vapor barrier and insulation. I understand Vintage does a lot of work in LA, so either he or Gene are up in LA a couple times a week. My addition was a social area/pool house. My hope was to get 2000+ bottles in the wine cellar. The design concept developed by them was amazing, over 2500 bottles. They used every available space, not wasting an inch. Even putting coved shelves on top of some of the racking for magnum bottles (the ceiling sloped so there was open space above some of the racks). The communication level was great, as all construction projects have delays and reschedules. I recommend them no matter where you live. Jake even brought me two bottles of wine after the completion of the project. **★★★★★ — drew kemp, June 2013** > Jake and his whole team from Vintage Cellars did a fantastic job on putting in my wine cellar on time and on budget. > > He went out of his way to make sure I was happy with the finished product and made sure all minor changes I asked for were taken care of. > > I would highly recommend Jake to anyone looking for somone they can trust on such a fun and important project. **★★★★★ — decoteaud, March 2013** > Jake did a great job in turning my study into a wine room. He worked with my builder to get the builder to do as much as possible during construction, and started work as soon as the home was complete. I wanted something more contemporary and that allowed me to find my wine by simple visual inspection. > > He designed a great wine room with Vintage View wine racks, black cabinets, and black granite. It turned out better that I could have hoped for. I would highly recommend Jake and Vintage Cellars. **★★★★★ — hugeslindsay, Feb. 2013** > I am thrilled with my new 1000 bottle wine cellar. Jake and his team from Vintage Cellars did an incredible job. Not only was Jake very professional, he knew a ton about designing cellars, and his wine knowledge is very impressive. He worked well with my interior designer incorporating our ideas into the project. We initially thought installing the cooling system was going to be difficult; however, we found a solution. I couldn't be happier with the work that Jake and Vintage Cellars did. **Comment from Vintage Cellars & Saunas:** > Thank you Lindsay. It was a pleasure being part of your project. Also, thank you for the review. Because of your extra effort, I was able to wine the Best of Houzz Award. Only 4% of professionals on Houzz are given that honor. Time to open up a bottle of wine. > jake **★★★★★ — bocfarm, Dec. 2012** > Jake recently designed a 1500 bottle cellar for my basement. He had great ideas and was very willing to incorporate my ideas as well. He also built the racks from alder wood and the stain and racks were perfect. He was timely on getting back to me. I would highly recommend his design and his work. > > Jason Farmer **Comment from Vintage Cellars & Saunas:** > Mr. Farmer, > > You wouldn't believe the amount of compliments I get when people see pictures of your wine cellar. The vision you and I put together and than the craftsmanship to complete it. Your lighting, stone guy and everyone involved on this project was amazing. **★★★★★ — coolwineguy, Nov. 2012** > I first met Jake with VIntage Cellars with only blueprints and a concept for my wine cellar. I had no idea what direction to go. He was able to take my thoughts and put them down into an actual wine cellar design. And before that, his main concern was room preparation & the mechanicals of a cooling system. During the process of the remodel, I would often see Jake on the project checking up on the progress of the cellar to plan when his staff needed to be there. It was also nice to see they have a great staff and not everything is subcontracted. My collection now has a home with room to grow. It's my favorite room in the house. ## Selected projects - [Modern Glass Wine Cellar with Leather Wine Bottles Saddles in Dana Point](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-glass-wine-cellar-with-leather-wine-bottles-saddles-in-dana-point-pj-vj~7685045) - Location: Dana Point, CA - Photos: 17 - Description: At the heart of this modern beach residence, framed in sleek steel and surrounded by glass, lies a wine cellar that’s more than just storage—it’s an architectural centerpiece.

How can I customize and order. A: Hi Wendy, this space is refrigerated. It takes quite a bit of planning and the right conditions in order for us to create a space like this. I would recommend calling into our office to speak to a specialist for a consultation. We look forward to hearing from you. **Q: Impact of light on cellar** *(in Photo Questions)* Love this look but how do you handle the impact of light on the cellar...usually you hear keep your cellar dark.....obviously light comes in from both sides in this case? A: Hi Kendra, you are absolutely correct, as wine cellar specialists we do recommend that there is limited glass and light into the cellar. We work with designers that have ideas that we sometimes don't agree, but ultimately it is up to the client, and as long as they are aware of the impact we move forward with the design. **Q: what tile did you use for the walls ?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hello, The homeowner chose the tile himself and we were never given the name of it.. Sorry! More than happy to answer any questions about the wine cellar or racking though! Cheers! **Q: Dimensions of the wine storage room? Approx how many bottles?** *(in Photo Questions)* This is a beautiful wine storage room. Would you share the dimensions? Thank you! A: Hi Nicole, Thank you so much for your interest in our work.. This wine cellar project, before it was converted was 236 inches wide x 44 inches deep x 103 inches high. Its bottle capacity is about 650 bottles - but depending on racking design, this space could have easily fit more had that been the end goal of this client.
