My passion for wine has its roots in my art school years when I worked in the vineyards of New York's Hudson Valley. Years later, after a three year-tenure as wine taster for a national magazine, I was asked to recommend someone who could design and build a 28,000 bottle wine cellar for the Lespinasse Restaurant at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City. Drawing from my experience in design, construction, and fine wood working, I undertook the project myself. That led to the successful installation of many residential wine cellar designs as well.

In addition to designing and overseeing every project I continue to write articles for Country and Abroad magazine, attend and host wine tastings, and host a radio show on NPR, WHDD/ Robin Hood Radio. I am fortunate that my work takes me to the wine regions worldwide, enabling me to continually enjoy and learn about wines and wine storage innovations. I look forward to including you in my list of satisfied clients.
