With rough-cut stone walls and a glass front, this wine cave combines old-world style with a traditional sensibility. It was a challenge to regulate the temperature, as we originally anticipated the cave would be cooler than it was. But, because this cellar is built directly into the Camelback Mountain, and not underground, the space was very warm. Our refrigeration team installed a cooling system to regulate the perfect temperature.
