Stellar wine cellars...uncork the possibilities!

Good morning.....Eventually, eventually  very much being the operative word here, we hope to build a wine cellar in the new house...it is high on the list for my husband but for me I can think of at least 25 other things that come before it. For me, the enjoyment of wine can be had in just about any room, and I am not discerning when it comes to where I drink my wine! And God knows I don't need a wine cellar to drink wine.....I could live in a teepee and still find a place to house my wine! However I am sure at some point we will get around to building one....I was at a friends house recently who has a beautiful cellar and we also had gone to a really special wine tasting dinner in someones magnificent home that had a brick walled cellar and that is where the wine tasting dinner was held with white gloved service I might add!It really got me thinking about cellars and what a special feeling they evoke when you are in them..the cool dry air, the quiet hum, the bottles waiting sometimes for a very long time to release their goodness, the dark colors that typically decorate this space, I started doing a little research for fun. So today I am showcasing a bunch of wonderful and certainly inspirational cellars. Let me know what you think, would you want one and would you use it? Love to know!
