We visit restaurants like these because we know, just by looking, that they take their wine programs seriously. The best in Modern Commercial Wine Cellar Design runs the gamut from massive glass displays that reach from floor to ceiling to intimate wine walls that divide dining areas. Let's go eat!

Judges' Comments: "Simply Stunning! Love the creativity in the overall design, use of materials and architectural detailing. I am sure this was no simply feat to make this a reality." — Kimberly Timmons-Beutner, owner of Kimberly Timmons Interiors (Denver) "I would use this look as my lightbulb caption above my head, always thinking wine!" — Eddie Kennison, Barrel 87 wine club and former NFL star. "The use of soft curvy lines with wooden elements and warm lighting create a stunning impression when combined with a contemporary cantilevered structure and vertical beams. Similarly, the interior combines a traditional wooden wine shelving system with a modern metal racking system to be viewed through gorgeous full height glass panels. There is something for everyone here!" — Paige Hill, owner of Ultra-Mod Home Concepts |
