The double sided bolt to go into the walls do not come with the pegs. I wish we had known this so we wouldn’t have to pay for shipping twice as you can’t put the pegs into the wall without the double sided bolts. **Comment from Blue Grouse Wine Cellars:** > Thank you for your comments. We are glad you are happy with the pegs but sorry to hear of the challenge with the bolts. We do try to make it clear on the product listing that the VINdustry pegs come standard with bolts that fasten from the backside of a 3/4" panel and if you need special wood anchor bolts for mounting through the face of millwork that these need to be purchased separately. A link to the wood anchor bolts is included in the product information for the pegs. We will take a look at the product listing with your comments in mind to see if we can make this more clear. **★★★★★ — Janet Chung, June 2019** > I stumbled onto Blue Grouse Wine Cellars completely by accident when another company dropped the ball and left me stranded. From the moment I walked into their showroom to the time the installers walked out of my home, the service was beyond stellar! The staff and the quality of the product has left me in awe as I never expected to be this impressed. Thank you to everyone involved - I love my wine wall!! **★★★★★ — Pat Thornton, Oct. 2018** > Christine was very helpful, answered all my questions and made some great suggestions. > I would recommend this company to anyone building a wine cellar. Thanks.... **Comment from Blue Grouse Wine Cellars:** > Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — RDC Fine Homes, Inc., Feb. 2018** > Blue Grouse installed a fantastic custom wine cellar for our client in Whistler this year. They were extremely flexible and Christina was excellent in the organization and coordination. We would highly recommend them. **Comment from Blue Grouse Wine Cellars:** > Thanks for your comments - it was a pleasure working with your team.

It was a pleasure working with you. We appreciate the feedback. **★★★★★ — Melona Will, Oct. 2017** > I started looking for a cable wine system and found one in the United States, it was Very expensive, huge shipping costs and in US dollars. Then thankfully I found Blue Grouse wine cellars. Reasonably priced and in Canadian dollars. Service is top notch. I called to get information, they needed the dimensions of my wine room sent them over by email with pictures and 2 days later I received an email with how it would look , drawings to scale and cost. I ordered the system and asked if they could hold it for a month as I was moving and it was for our new home . They took a deposit and had it shipped on the exact day I asked for it. Great service, great and on time shipping and they were so easy to deal with. I would highly recommend this company. And my wine room looks amazing. Great cable system , great quality. **Comment from Blue Grouse Wine Cellars:** > Thanks Melona! It was a pleasure working with you. Thank you for also taking the time to share photos of your finished project with us. Enjoy your new cellar! **★★★★★ — Greg Hasler, March 2017** > We hired Blue Grouse Wine Cellars to install a wine cellar in, Alpine, a spec home we were building a few years ago. They surpassed our expectations with their recommendations and workmanship. We definitely would recommend them to any of our clients looking for a wine cellar for their home. **★★★★★ — paul\_walker1, Sept. 2016** > Excellent service. Great product knowledge. Great pricing. All in all, I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a wine cabinet, wine cellar, or storage. **★★★★★ — tmehrani, July 2016** > Loved blue grouse wine cellars. I can't say enough good things about my experience. At first I was skeptical because not being able to supervise a project and having the company be so far away in Vancouver, I was hesitant to go through with the project. However, Adrienne contacted me and provided reassurance from far away. I received pictures of my wine cellar during the building process and Sebastian(the designer) was great in keeping me informed of steps along the way. The company is very professional. You get high quality for a decent fair price. Highly recommend! **Comment from Blue Grouse Wine Cellars:** > Hi Tina, Thanks so much for your comments! It was a pleasure working with you and we are so happy we could help make your glass wine cellar dream a reality. **★★★★ — Ed Fontana, June 2016** > Very professional team. They were very respectful of my ideas and concepts. Turned my vision and ideas into reality. > > I would recommend them for future work. **Comment from Blue Grouse Wine Cellars:** > Thanks Ed for your kind comments. It was a pleasure working with you. > -Blue Grouse Team **★★★★★ — Ken Mcintosh, May 2016** > The 1st time we used Blue Grouse was approximately 2 years ago with the purchase of 3 large wine coolers for our cellar. There were a few challenges with the glass doors but they went up and beyond the call to make sure we were satisfied! When we made the decision to change residences and build a complete new wine cellar, there was no question who we were going to use. From speaking with Adrienne, meeting Gary on site and Sebastian's design it went without a flaw! Their professionalism and expertise in this field is amazing and we now know we picked the right company for the job again. Its a small world and we have run into multiple people going through this process that have also used Blue Grouse and feel as we do. Great job team and thanks for your help! > > Kenny and Ena **Comment from Blue Grouse Wine Cellars:** > Thanks so much, Kenny and Ena! It was a pleasure working with you :) **★★★★★ — jgylander, Feb. 2016** > I was so happy to have found the perfect wine racks to fit our decor in Canada and at a great price! My questions were answered promptly and efficiently and Christine worked with me on shipping times to be able to have these arrive while my husband is out of town so I can install as a surprise. I recommend Blue Grouse for anyone looking for the perfect product to display your wine collection and receive excellent customer service! ## Selected projects - [West Vancouver - Float Wine Display](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-vancouver-float-wine-display-pj-vj~2060492) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: This display is a proprietary system for Blue Grouse.

This is a custom glass cellar and though there might be some restrictions to accomodate the cooling unit, it can be build to any size that will fit your space. If you would like to explore further feel free to contact us at info@bluegrousewinecellars.com. Cheers **Q: Can you give me more about the refrigeration system** *(in Photo Questions)* I am trying to build one of these but my builder is having trouble figuring out both the refrigeration system as well as how to create a sealed tight door system so cold air doesn't escape. Can you provide your resources? We would really appreciate it. Janet A: Hi Janet, thank you for reaching out. In this particular project the cooling unit is placed below the cellar in a crawl space and ducted thru the floor. There are different options available and would suggest you contact us at 1 888 400 2675 to discuss it as well as the glass enclosure. Cheers, The Blue Grouse Team **Q: Is the wine cellar refrigerated?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Yes, this cellar is refrigerated. There is an ONAM water-cooled system installed in the crawl space, directly beneath the wine cellar. The supply/return air is ducted up through the floor. **Q: I'm looking to build a smaller but similar cellar...** *(in Photo Questions)* Where did you purchase the wine racks? A: Thanks for reaching out! Our company sells the wine racks that you see in this photo. They are from a line called Vintage View. We are able to ship across North America and lead time is very short. Please give us a call at 1-888-400-2675 if you'd like some help determining exactly which components you'll require and to place an order. **Q: la bonne température?** *(in Photo Questions)* renee A: Hi Rene, The temperature we aim for for wine storage is 13 - 15°C. **Q: bonjour comment fonctionne votre ventilation ou climatiseur pour garde** *(in Photo Questions)* renee A: Bonjour Rene, We're sorry, our French language skills aren't that great but we believe you are asking about how the climate-control of this cellar works? If so, it's a water-cooled unit placed beneath the floor of the cellar with air supply/return ducted up through the floor. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
