Featuring more than 25 of the most fabulous wine cellars in America today, an intriguing look at what it means to be passionate about wine--to enjoy it, to entertain with it, and to live with it.

America's love of wine has spurred a collecting and entertaining phenomenon.

Some

of America's most passionate oenophiles have re-invented the wine cellar as an inviting

and beautiful part of the home.

True collectors love to share their passion, and

this book offers a tour of their distinctive cellars. Created with the help of some

of the best designers in the field, these rooms blend luxurious design aesthetics

with ingenious storage solutions. The thirty stunning spaces featured include a traditional

wood cellar finished with rich paneling and ornate lighting; a cathedral-like space

that showcases ironwork inspired by the French Quarter of New Orleans (and has a

secret entry from a library inside the house); an inviting living room lined with

temperature-controlled wood alcoves behind insulated glass; and an Old World terra-cotta

cellar-within a sprawling entertainment center that includes a wet bar, a billiards

table, and a tasting room.

Living with Wine reveals the details that make the cellars

a welcoming place to return-from the materials, artwork, lighting, and cutting-edge

preservation technology to the way the space harmonizes with the rest of the house.

From the Bay Area to Boston, Napa to New York, homeowners such as Nancy and John

Lasseter, the founder of Pixar Studios; American Idol host and TV and radio personality

Ryan Seacrest; and entrepreneur Rick Ryan share insights into what they collect,

why they started collecting, and how they designed their spaces to fit their passion.

This elegant volume shows what it means to love and collect wine.
