Elegant Combination of Wine Racks in a Manhattan Beach Los Angeles Wine Cabinet

Overview of the Manhattan Beach Los Angeles Wine Cabinet Project

Coastal Custom Wine Cellars, one of the most trusted wine cellar builders in California, recently completed a custom wine cabinet for a client in Manhattan Beach Los Angeles. The wine cabinet is located at the house’s dining area.

Manhattan Beach Los Angeles Wine Cabinet Design

The wine cellar features elegant wine racking styles, glass wine cellar doors, and a wine cellar climate control system. The dimensions of this wine cabinet include a width of 15 feet and height of 9 feet. The total storage capacity is 840 wine bottles.

Width: 15’

Height: 9’

Bottle Capacity: 840 wine bottles

The challenge with this project was the limited space of the wine room, particularly its depth. This could have caused difficulty in accessing the wine bottles at the left and right sides of the cabinet.

Custom Wine Cabinet – Manhattan Project by Coastal

To address this problem, the Coastal team added a pair of Barolo glass wine cellar doors. The doors filled the whole length (128 inches) of the openings, which made bottle access on both sides easier.

This custom wine cabinet project is part of a large renovation that the owners were working on. The conversation and planning with Coastal started last July 2014, and construction began last October. They completed the construction one week before Christmas.

Merging Different Wine Racking Styles

The main feature of this custom wine cabinet display and storage facility is the wine racking style. Different types of wine racks were put together to create an efficient, elegant, and maximized wine storage space.

The wine racks are made of Premium Redwood, one of the most in demand wood species in the wine racking industry. They were finished with a Chestnut wood stain, which enhances the natural beauty of Premium Redwood and blends well with the fixture in the dining room.

Striking Custom Wine Racks

A remarkable combination of wine racking styles were used to maximize the storage space and create an elegant look for the wine cabinet display. The wine racks used are:

Single bottle storage cubicles
Diamond bins
Wood case bins
Label forward horizontal displays
A high reveal display row with LED lighting
A display cabinet for 3L bottles

The Barolo Style Glass Wine Cellar Doors

The Barolo style glass wine cellar door is a dual-pane glass wine cellar entryway with Q-Lon weather stripping and a concealed door bottom. With these features, the room is kept tightly sealed, cool air is prevented from escaping, and more energy is conserved.

Barolo Glass Wine Cellar Doors

The Barolo glass wine cellar doors were finished with a Chestnut wood stain, which enhances the color of the wood. In between the two glass wine cellar doors is a fixed window, where a label forward wine cabinet display is visible. This part of the wine cabinet is intended for storing 3-liter wine bottles.

The Wine Cellar Climate Control System

The Manhattan Beach Los Angeles wine cabinet includes a wine cellar climate control system. The Coastal team installed a ductless split wine cellar cooling unit from Arctic Metalworks, one of the best wine cellar cooling unit providers in California.

It is important for any wine storage facility to have a wine cellar climate control system installed. It provides and maintains the ideal temperature and humidity needed to promote the proper aging of wines.

Coastal recommended the ductless split wine cellar cooling unit because of its versatility and efficiency. With this type of cooling unit, the condenser, which is the noisiest part of the cooling system, is installed away from the wine room. How can this be an advantage?

Wine Cellar Climate Control System

Wine aging can be affected by vibration. It is best to keep wines away from possible sources of noise, movement and vibration, to allow for the natural aging process of wine.

For this wine cellar, the condenser was installed in the garage, while the evaporator was installed inside the wine cabinet. A custom designed louvered grill was used to cover the evaporator unit, and to keep any mechanical parts out of sight. A line set with copper tubing and electrical wiring was used to connect the condenser and the evaporator.

If the condenser is installed outdoors, it is always recommended to cover it with exterior housing, to prevent damage by harmful environmental elements.

Wine Guardian Refrigeration – Commercial Display Wine Cellars – Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club CA .

Hi and thank you for visiting Coastal Custom Wine Cellars. I’m going to share a project with you today that we recently completed in Orange County, California.

In November 2013, I was contacted by an architectural firm in San Diego and they sent me this beautiful color rendering of the proposed remodel to the dining room area of the Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club.

Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club

The focus of our work was to be the enclosure here. This is approximately 11′ wide, 2′ deep and about 9′ tall. It was an area that the club members would have the opportunity to store and display some of their private collections. So after a number of consultations and a couple of site visits, we created some design work for them.

The wine racks were provided by Vintage View out of Denver, Colorado, and the wine cellar cooling unit was provided by Wine Guardian out of New York.

Let’s take a look at how we came about designing this and we are going to show you some photographs as well. What we are looking at here is the wine rack design. This is an overhead view of the area. It is a foot print, if you will, bird’s eye view. And as you can see the dimensions are posted, this is approximately 11′ wide, 2′ deep.

Vintage View Plan View – Coastal Custom Wine Cellars

This is the back side or fixed glass panels, so that all the club members on this side of the enclosure have a view of the wine cellar. This is the front side where there is a series of doors, three pairs to be exact.

The capacity of this particular wine enclosure is 1, 380 bottles. This is a front elevation. It is mostly label forward horizontal displays in a three deep configuration. In other words, behind the visible bottle, there are two more bottles stored to increase the capacity.

We also have a presentation row running the width of that. The back side is the fixed glass panel view and this is a side view illustration as well.

Coto de Caza Golf Club Commercial Wine Cellar Display

This single deep storage on the side of the vertical frame is for the rear or fixed panel, and on the front side we have a three deep configuration. This is where the series of doors are located.

Let’s take a look at how the cooling unit came to be. This is the rough frame construction of the wine enclosure. This is the cold air supply, and the cold air return.

The beautiful thing about the Wine Guardian ducted air handler systems is there’s no visible equipment in the wine room, and in this case that’s ideal because it’s all glass. Also, there’s no evaporator mounted on the wall occupying valuable wall space when in deep capacity could certainly be an issue.

Typically, these things are installed about 25 feet away from the enclosure. As you can see, just on the other side of the enclosure is the cold air supply that I mentioned.

Here is where the wine cellar cooling unit is actually placed in the ceiling and the cold air is supplied to and from the enclosure, and the hot air and the drain line heads out this way to the outdoors. It’s mounted in the ceiling as you can see.

Wine Guardian D088 Wine Cellar Cooling Unit

This is one of their larger units. Their model DO88 is placed in the ceiling. It requires a little bit of clearance around it, so that the ducting can be mounted into the various panels available.

Now let’s take a look at some of the wine racks. The finish on the wine racks is a platinum finish, brush nickel or kind of a stainless steel effect. As you can see, here is the cold air supply that we’ve been talking about.

Here’s the presentation row that was included on the wine racks. This is the back side or the rear fixed panel of the enclosure which will go along here.

Now we’ve installed the glass, it’s a 1/2″ tempered glass. The doors are quite tall and quite heavy, so we used commercial duty pivot hinges that are self-closing.

Stunning Commercial Wine Racks

We certainly didn’t want the wine cellar door to swing in being so heavy and causing damage to some of the wines. Also, there are lots of these at the bottom for security reasons. The enclosure now has some bottles stored inside.

These last few pictures will give you some different angles or the many different views that are available to the customers. It’s almost as if they’re floating inside the enclosure. It’s amazing. All in all, a fun project to work with, and we’d certainly like to help you design with your project if you have one.

Myths about Wines – Things a Wine Enthusiast Should Know

Wines are very enjoyable beverages. They are great for special occasions and celebrations, as well as every day enjoyment. If you love wine, you have probably heard a lot of myths about it. Learn a few of the most popular myths about wines, and which are true (or not true).

Understanding Your Wine Collection More – Knowing Myths from Facts

Identify the Myths About Wines!

More and more people in Los Angeles, California are investing in their very own residential custom wine cellars, and starting wine collections. In order to enjoy wine more, a wine collector should have an adequate understanding of wines. Along with that, they should identify the myths about wine. Here are a few of the most popular myths about wine:

1. Eliminate the Sulfites in Wine

There are many discussions online about the dangers of sulfites to our health. Recent studies show that sulfites are actually almost totally benign, but most people are still unwilling to accept that fact, and they insist on eliminating sulfites from wine. The reality is that all fermented products contain sulfites. Sulfites are a by-product of yeast metabolism. Even if a certain wine is made with unsulfured grapes, and no sulfite is added during the fermentation, said wine will still contain sulfites. Therefore, the only solution is to stop drinking wine.

2. Homemade Wine is All Bad and Can Make You Blind

This is actually a very common misconception about wine. The reality is that no matter what it tastes or looks like, wine fermented in food-grade containers will always be safer to drink than tap water. Wine has a low pH level and high alcohol content, which makes it uninhabitable for disease-causing organisms. There was even a time in human history when the only tool in a physician’s cabinet was a wine bottle. Wine, before the medical revolution of the 20th century, was used as an antiseptic for wounds, a pain killer for injuries, and a surcease for troubled minds.

There is no basis to the belief that homemade wine as sour or of inferior quality. Of course, there will always be times when a consumer-produced wine is poorly made and improperly fermented. But having an experience with a bad tasting homemade wine should not cause one to generalize all homemade wines as bad.

3. Rack Wines Early and Rack Them Often

Racking is the process of separating wine from its sediments, thus leaving it clear. A few wine experts recommend wine makers rack their wine immediately, to get rid of any visible sediment and thereby avoid H2S contamination. A common mistake that beginner wine collectors commit is fiddling with their wine too often. Even once wines have adjusted, finished fermenting, and are fully stable, they should be allowed to rest undisturbed in a durable wine racking system.

4. All Wines Improve with Age

Although it is true that many wines should be allowed to age in a home custom wine cellar before they are consumed, there are exceptions. There are a number of wines that are intended for immediate consumption. Different wines have different aging recommendations. For example, a light, delicate white wine like Trebbiano will fully develop it flavor aroma if allowed to age from 6 months to 1 year. But there are also certain wines that need to age for a decade or more to reach their peak quality. Get to know the wine you purchase before deciding whether to consume it immediately or to allow it to age first. If you do allow it to age, check how long it should be left in the residential wine cellar in Los Angeles, California.

5. White Wines are Best Served Cold, While Red Wines Should be Served at Room Temperature

Although you may drink wine at any temperature you want, traditional ideas on what temperatures certain wines should be served at require a little interpretation. Wines should not be served too cold, because, besides your palate being numbed by the cold, the flavors will also be repressed. On the other hand, if wine is served too warm, the tannins can become over-soft, and the alcohol unpleasantly dominant. The ideal serving temperature for white wines is between 50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit, while most red wines should be served at a temperature between 62 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Champagne, on the other hand, should be served icy cold, to achieve the maximum nose-tickling pleasure. Light and fruity red wines like Dolcetto and Beaujolais Nouveau should be lightly chilled, to enhance their fruity character.

6. Any Type of Wine Cellar Refrigeration Unit Will Do

Another myth that many beginner wine collectors believe is that they can have any type of wine cellar refrigeration system installed in their wine storage room. The fact is, different wine cellars have different storage requirements, and thus, will need a wine cellar cooling unit that can meet those specific requirements. A wine cellar’s storage requirements depends on how big the storage room is, how many wines are stored in it, the climate outside the wine cellar, etc. Have an HVAC professional determine the appropriate wine cellar cooling system for your wine storage space.

7. A Wine Cellar is Not Very Important

If you are not willing to invest in an effective wine storage solution, you shouldn’t start a wine collection. A wine storage solution is essential, because without one, your wines will go bad. The most ideal wine storage solution is a wine cellar built in your own home. A residential wine cellar, designed and constructed by a professional wine cellar builder, can provide your wines with the ideal temperature and humidity that they require.

Creating Unique Wine Cellar Designs with Wine Racks

When you invest in wine collecting, the right environmental conditions essential for wines to age gracefully must be taken into consideration. Proper wine storage plays a very important role in ensuring that your fine wines will keep their desirable characteristics until they are opened and poured into the wine glass.

For most wine collectors, not only should the ideal environment be taken into account when planning to build a wine cellar, but the overall look and appeal as well. A wine cellar is a great addition to one’s home. It can either break or enhance the ambiance of the space where it is built.

Aesthetic appeal and wine storage conditions are both important factors to prioritize and discuss with your wine cellar builder. When these factors are considered, a great wine cellar design can be created and brought to life for both the owner and his guests’ enjoyment.

After reading this blog, you will understand how to begin the wine cellar design process and determine the wine rack styles for your needs.

Useful Questions to Answer Before Starting the Wine Cellar Design Phase

Coastal Custom Wine Cellars 3D Wine Cellar Design

The basic things that must be assessed when designing a wine cellar are the location and dimensions of the room. Answering the specific questions below and discussing them with your chosen wine cellar designer and installer will greatly help to make the process easier and the result more desirable.

Do you want to focus on function, beauty, or both?
How frequently and for how long do you intend to spend time in your wine cellar?
Do you plan to entertain friends or host wine tasting parties in your wine cellar?
Do you want your wine cellar to complement the existing décor of your home?
How many bottles do you plan to store? How many are intended for short-term, and how many are intended for long-term storage? How often do you plan to pull out a bottle from the wine rack?
What are the types of wines are you planning to collect? Are there large-format bottles?
Do you want a traditional or contemporary wine cellar?
What wood material do you want to use for your wine racks, wine cellar door, and wine cellar flooring?
Do you want your wine racking to be fully-customized?
Do you want eco-friendly features in your wine cellar?
What type of wine cellar refrigeration system do you want to use to cool your wine room? Do you want it to be seen or hidden from your view?
What ambiance do you want your wine cellar to provide?
Are you going to use an inventory system for easy retrieval of your wine?

Now let’s discuss the different wine rack styles that you can choose from to have a uniquely-built wine cellar.

Wine Rack Styles and Designs

Wine enthusiasts have different preferences of how they want their collection to be displayed. Some want their wine racking to be exclusively semi or fully customized, while others may want to use a combination of both. When choosing your wine racks, consider the number, type, and size of wine bottles you want to store in them.

Semi-Custom Wine Racks or Wine Rack Kits

Semi-custom wine racks are also known as wine rack kits. They are pre-built and can be stacked to maximize the space of your wine room. Wine Cellars by Coastal, a wine cellar expert in California, offers a wide range of wine rack kits to meet different wine storage needs. Check out some examples of their wine rack kits.

6-Column Display Wine Rack

Coastal’s 6-column display wood wine rack that accommodates 102 750ml bottles. This single bottle-storage rack has a high-reveal display shelf that allows the collector to feature his favorite vintages with labels facing up.

You’ll notice that the display shelf is pitched at a 15-degree angle. The purpose of this is to keep wine in contact with the cork. Keeping the cork moist will prevent it from losing its original shape, ensuring that wine will not be ruined by oxidation. A top shelf can be added for additional storage space and to complete its look.

6-Column Magnum and Champagne Wine Rack

If you have large-format bottles (magnum and champagne bottles) in your collection, the 6′ two-column magnum and champagne wine rack is ideal for you. It has 4 1/2 inches square cubicles and can be combined with other wine rack series from Coastal.

6-Column Diamond Bin Storage

The diamond bin storage wine rack, which is 6’ in height, stores bottles in bulk. It displays bottles on top of each other. Because of this, maximum air flow between bottles is achieved. This wine rack also adds a stylish touch to a wine cellar.

Wooden Wine Rack Archway

The wooden wine rack archway provides a place for decanting wine. The back, which is open to the wall, allows you to add a mural or any special decorative feature that you want on the backsplash. Your own design can be incorporated into the wall art mural. With this option, your wine racking will be unique and a reflection of your personality.

Coastal’s wine rack kits are made of premium redwood, mahogany, and pine and are handcrafted using horizontal dado spacer bars. They are also constructed with 3 ¾” bottle cubicles and a 1 ½” toe-kick base to elevate them a bit from the floor.

Custom Wine Racks

Since custom wine racks are designed and built according your specific needs, the result will be a distinctive storage place. Any room, regardless of shape and size, can be converted into an impressive wine cellar.

Wine rack openings can be customized to fit various bottle sizes. You can choose your preferred wood and stain options, too.

Wood, metal, or a combination of these materials can be utilized to achieve the desired look that you want for your wine cellar. You may opt for eco-friendly features such as wine barrel carvings, wine barrel or nautical timber flooring, and oak barrel tabletops.

Because of the demand in unique wine cellars, many owners of wine cellars in California choose custom wine racks. Others, however, prefer a combination of both pre-made and custom-made wine racks.

Below are examples of residential custom wine storage spaces uniquely designed and built by Coastal’s creative and skillful team.

Coastal Offers the Best Custom Wine Cellar Doors

At Coastal Custom Wine Cellars, each wine cellar project is challenging. There are many components that must be installed properly and factors to consider from the design phase to the completion of your wine cellar. One of these is the wine cellar door which plays a very important role in proper wine storage.

How Your Wine Cellar Door Must be Constructed

Wine cellar doors must be constructed in such a way that they are able to perform their function in preventing warm air from the outside and the cooler air inside the wine cellar from mixing. Thus, proper insulation and sealing of the entryway to your wine’s resting place must be given importance.

How is a wine cellar door constructed so that it is appropriately sealed? To ensure that no air escapes out of your wine cellar, the door must be weather-stripped and attached with sweep and threshold or automatic bottoms. Wine cellar door manufacturers use the right size of door jam to ensure effective sealing.

Benefits of Proper Wine Cellar Insulation

A wine cellar that is well insulated will keep wine storage temperature and humidity levels stable, allowing wines to reach proper maturation and release their most desirable flavors and aromas before they are served and enjoyed with family or friends. Without proper sealing, your wine collection will go to waste.

This also lowers energy consumption since your wine cellar cooling unit will not run continually when the door is tightly sealed.

Custom Wine Cellar Doors by Coastal Custom Wine Cellars

When choosing a wine cellar door manufacturer, Coastal Custom Wine Cellars is the company you can count on. They construct wine cellar doors using LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) technology. This process results in wine cellar doors that are resistant to shrinkage and warping.

In addition to durable doors, Coastal’s wide array of wine cellar doors can be customized to meet your personal style. For the material, you can choose from wood, glass, wrought iron, or a combination of these. You can also request your personal choice of theme which you want to be incorporated on the door.

California Custom Wine Cellar Designed with Excellence

When looking for the best wine storage option, the first thing that comes into our mind is the wine cellar. Yes, nothing can beat the ability of a wine cellar to preserve wine until it reaches its point of maturity. Wine is said to reach its peak when it is ready to release its most complex flavors and aromas and its tannins have softened.

There is an increasing number of wine collectors in California who prefer to invest in a wine cellar rather than risk the safety of their wines by storing them in another area of their home. Wine needs an environment with stable temperature and humidity levels in order to provide maximum enjoyment to the drinker.

There are many California wine cellar builders out there, but Wine Cellars by Coastal is one of the most trusted companies when it comes to quality materials and services.

Newport Coast Beach California Wine Cellar – a Pride of Coastal

In Newport Coast Beach, California, a client of Coastal had a spacious storage room adjacent to their dining area that they wanted to convert into a functional wine cellar.

This custom wine room was constructed with a herculite entryway. This type of wine cellar door system is comprised of frameless glass. The thickness ranges between 1/2 – 1 inch. In this case, half-inch clear glass was used.

The advantage of the herculite door is its ability to withstand impact while allowing full visibility of the client’s wine storage display, particularly the brick veneer walls and ceiling. The custom wine cellar design consists of diamond bins, single bottle storage, and rectangular openings that can house 750ml bottles. Mahogany wine racks were installed, stained with rustic color, and finished with a lacquer.

To maintain the optimal conditions in this beautiful California custom wine room without unwanted noise, a commercial grade Arctic Metalworks’ Arctic Aire split wine cooling system was installed. The unit is concealed by louvered grill cover.

Another distinctive feature of this wine cellar project is the eco-friendly flooring made from Napa Valley reclaimed oak wine barrels. Coastal made use of wood strips from the sides of the barrel (called staves). This craftsmanship resulted in unique flooring that makes this wine room look more appealing.

Reclaimed Wine Barrel Flooring

This wine cellar, which was designed to have an overall capacity of 1,692 bottles, was completed September 2013. The interior designer of this custom wine cellar Newport Coast Beach, California Offshore project is Karen Johnson, who did an excellent job.

Hosting Wine Tasting Parties in California Wine Cellars

So now you have a beautifully set up wine cellar with stunning wine racks holding your splendid wine collection. Besides taking an inventory of your wine and managing your collection, the best use for your California wine cellar is to host a wine tasting party!

Wine tasting parties are easy to organize and fun! But how does one go about planning for a wine tasting party?

Essential Tips for Hosting a Wine Tasting Party

Formal or Informal

Since you already have a wine cellar, you have at least one thing taken care of – the location. Now it’s time to decide whether you want the party to be formal or informal. If your circle of friends are wine connoisseurs in their own right, then you should probably host a formal party. But, if they are people who are just beginning to discover wine, or you just want have an entertaining and unique night with friends, an informal party is your best bet.

The Wine and Theme

The first and most important thing you should prepare is the wine. Choose at most five different varieties of wine because too many types might overwhelm the palette. It’s okay to have both red and white wines, but make sure you serve the lighter ones first. Make sure also that you take out the wine from storage for a bit of time before you start serving them.

Opt also, for a theme among the wines that you will be serving. Try selecting vintages that come from a particular region or wines of the same kind.

Wine Glasses

Next, let’s talk about wine glasses. If you’re serving both white and red wines, make sure your guests have two glasses each. Do not rinse the glasses in between tasting as even a tiny drop of water can dilute the wine and affect its taste. Make sure that you have wine cellar racks built with storage for your stemware. This will provide convenience for you as the host.

Typical of any wine tasting party, not all wines may be to your guest’s liking. Make sure you have a dump-away bucket for people to dispose of wine properly.

Food

Have water, bread, and crackers available. Not only does this provide refreshment and nourishment, they also function to cleanse the palate. Of course, wine is best paired with cheese. Make sure you serve a good selection of cheese that goes best with your vintages.

Music

With all these ready, take care of other touches such as wine coasters and music. You can personalize the wine coasters so that it matches the theme of your party. You can even use them as an invitation for your friends. Create a good playlist of mood music too, to set the right atmosphere for your party.

Wine Tasting Table

A wine tasting table is an essential part in your wine cellar. It is where you arrange the wines, food, and other accessories during a wine tasting party. It can also function as an extra storage space for keeping extra bottles and as a focal point of your wine cellar.

Do you want to host wine tasting parties but don’t have a wine cellar yet? Wine Cellars by Coastal is the name you can trust in wine cellar construction.

Custom Wine Racks in California: Wooden Wine Racks & Metal Wine Racks

Wine racks are an essential part of wine storage. Wine racks are where you precious wines will be resting, so they need to be safe and durable. Also, wine racks need to be beautifully designed so that if you want to show off your wine collection, you can also display classy wine racks.

There are various kinds of custom wine racks in Orange County, California. The most common types of wine racks are those that are made of wood or metal. There are certain things that you need to consider when choosing wine racks, because both wooden wine racks and metal wine racks have something to offer. Learn more about these by reading through this article.

Wooden Wine Racks

Wooden wine racks are classy and beautiful. They are also very easy to put together; you can even choose to build your own wooden wine racks if you want to. Although wooden wine racks are quite light, they are also durable enough to hold the weight of many wine bottles. In fact, wooden wine racks can last for many, many years, as long as you protect them from mold and mildew. Coating the wood with stains and finishes won’t just make the racks more attractive, but also protect them from mold and mildew damage.

One of the good things about wooden wine racks is that you have the liberty to use any paint on them. You can match the wine racks with the rest of your décor at home.

Another good thing about wooden wine racks is that if you accidently bump your wine bottle hard on the racks, it is less likely to break compared to bumping it into a metal wine rack.

Metal Wine Racks

Metal wine racks are another option, if you do not want wooden ones. What is great about metal wine racks is that they come in more shapes and styles than wooden wine racks. There are shapes and styles that only metal racks can pull off. This factor alone makes metal wine racks very attractive to wine enthusiasts. Add to that the fact that metal wine racks are more durable than wooden racks, and you’ve got a popular wine rack material.

The tricky thing about metal wine racks is that if you choose to paint them, you must make sure that you use a chip-resistant paint, so that the racks won’t easily lose the coat. Another disadvantage is that if metal racks break, they are harder to repair compared to wooden wine racks.
