**★★★★★ — Eduardo Vogeler, Sept. 2016**

> On time, diligent, built as plan, and delivered as promised, excelent  craftmanship and attention to detail. Wine knowledge a plus !

**★★★★★ — rebeccas06, March 2016**

> Viking Wine Cellars created wood and steel wine racks for a custom, glass enclosed wine closet in our new home.  Their attention to detail, ability to collaborate with me and our builder and to implement the design elements we wanted to include went beyond our expectations.  We would strongly recommend Viking Wine Cellars and would work with them again if we had the chance.

**★★★★★ — Daley Custom Homes, March 2016**

**★★★★★ — L.J. Nicholas, March 2016**

> Viking Wine Cellars installed all the woodwork in our wine cellar.  They were easy to work with, professional, and followed our plans perfectly.  They helped us select the best material to use and gave us the idea of a circular rack in our entry ceiling!
