We have defined a simple design for the cabinet and focused on making the wood frame more decorative and stylish. Available in all sizes. Miner Vineyards Wine "The importance of storing fine wines in a climate-controlled environment simply cannot be overlooked. The color, aromas, and flavors of a wine will be best preserved if protected from extreme and fluctuating temperatures. Only by investing in quality cellaring and proper storage, and thus creating ideal aging conditions, will wines realize their full potential." Right: Miner Vineyards Cabinet Left: Decorative Details Bottom: Miner Vineyards Wine Gary Brookman, Winemaker, Miner Family Winery www.vinotheque.com 3 Chateau Montelena Series Chateau Montelena Series The Chateau Montelena represents one of our most elegant and refined cabinet series. The intricate beauty of olive ash burl combined with cherry wood establishes a stylish, rich and tasteful ambiance. Artistic detail and appeal is enhanced by hand carved corbels. The full length glass doors nicely balance the impressive cabinet, offering an intimate view of your wine collection. Available in sizes: 500, 550, and 700. Chateau Montelena Wine Left: Chateau Montelena Cabinet Right: Decorative Details Bottom: Chateau Montelena Wine "Our Chateau's thick stone walls and design make an excellent environment for making and cellaring wines. The cellar stays cool and dark year-round. These conditions are the opposite of what most people look for in a comfortable home, so a top-quality wine storage system is essential to preserve your special bottles and to ensure that you experience everything your wines have to offer." Bo Barrett, Winemaker, Chateau Montelena Winery 4 Vinothèque Buyers Guide Clos Pegase Series Clos Pegase Series Inspired by the grandeur of the mythical winged horse, Pegasus, who released the Spring of the Muses thus allowing the wine god Bacchus to irrigate his vineyards, the Clos Pegase series combines a very classic look with the elegance any wine collector would be proud to own. The series comes standard with the French window pane doors along with the detailed dentil moldings on the crown and base. Available in all sizes. Clos Pegase Wine "In addition to our highly acclaimed vineyards, the Clos Pegase Winery is home to over 20,000 square feet of functional caves. The caves keep our estate wines at an ideal aging temperature, essential for proper development of wine. Vinotheque cabinets provide this same essence and quality of wine storage, but in a convenient, functional and elegant storage solution for your home.” Right: Clos Pegase Cabinet Left: Decorative Details Bottom: Clos Pegase Wine Jan Shrem, Founder & Proprietor Clos Pegase Winery www.vinotheque.com 5 Bacio Divino Series Bacio Divino Series Inspired by the Tuscany style of Italy, this series incorporates the use of Mahogany wood along with decorative metal straps and clavi, which were used to create doors and cabinetry centuries ago. The cabinets represent the rustic, handsome appeal of the period. Bacio Divino, or “Divine Kiss” in Italian, represents the love and passion of wine collecting and enjoyment of the finer things in life. Available in all sizes, including credenza. Left: Bacio Divino Cabinet Right: Decorative Details Bottom Left: Bacio Divino Credenza Bottom Right: Bacio Divino Wine Bacio Divino Wine “In a wine’s journey from the vineyard to your palate, proper wine storage is as important to quality as any other step in the winemaking process.” Claus Janzen, Owner / Winemaker, Bacio Divino 6 Vinothèque Buyers Guide Cardinale Series Cardinale Series The Cardinale series is our most lavishly adorned cabinet series. It incorporates the beauty of olive ash burl with cherry wood. This combination creates a style and beauty, which is sure to provide visual pleasure for years to come. The hand carved corbels and appliques establish the Cardinale cabinets as impressive, tasteful and artistic furniture show pieces. Available in 500, 550 and 700 sizes. Cardinale Wine “The beauty of a temperature controlled storage unit is that it enables a harmony of time and temperature to act upon the wine in a manner that fosters delicate and controlled reactions. These reactions allow for the development of aromas and flavors that speak to the potential the winemaker envisioned when first bottling the wine.” Right: Cardinale Series Cabinet Left: Decorative Details Bottom: Cardinale Wine Christoper Carpenter Winemaker - Cardinale Winery www.vinotheque.com 7 Franciscan Oakville Estate Series Franciscan Oakville Estate Credenza The new Franciscan series incorporates the styles of credenzas with a good capacity of wine storage.

Franciscan Oakville Estate Wine "The most important aspect for preserving the life of fine wine is to store it at an even temperature, ideally around 55 degrees with proper humidity. By storing fine wines in a cool, stable environment, you preserve and extend their life and will be able to discover the dynamic, living product within the bottle as it develops with age." Larry Levin, Winemaker Franciscan & Mount Veeder Winery 8 Vinothèque Buyers Guide Pahlmeyer Series Pahlmeyer Series The Pahlmeyer cabinets display the treasure of wine enjoyment along with fundamentals of wine storage. This series incorporates a three or four door credenza with the stylish addition of a china hutch up top. The china hutch comes with attractive lighting and glass shelves, which are adjustable.

Flora Springs Wine Left: Flora Springs Right: Decorative Details Bottom: Flora Springs Wine “Fluctuation in temperature is the biggest enemy for wine during aging. Constant temperature is as important in storing wine after it is bottled as it is in barrels in the winery. In aging wines, tannins and acid lessen in intensity. Well aged, properly stored wines exhibit softer, more accessible flavors.” Ken Deis Winemaker – Flora Springs 10 Vinothèque Buyers Guide Custom Designs Custom Design Cabinets Vinotheque offers a specialty design option for those discriminating wine collectors who would like to transform an entire wall of their home or restaurant into a statement of wine collecting.
