The Taste of Ambiance

Spaces Built with People and Wine in Mind Where wine cellars have historically been placed underground, Al Fuentes reinvents the way storing wine is viewed. This modern approach his company, Dragon Cellars, takes allows for custom, luxury wine cellars to be built above ground in a way that complements the owner's interior design and wine-curating styles, creating the perfect display. These custom cellars, cabinets, and walls not only display but preserve each bottle at the ideal temperature and angles, ensuring longevity. In creating a wine cellar that serves serves as the focal point for the room, each moment in this space--from selecting the bottle to drinking the last drop--is an experience one longs to share with others. The Taste of Ambiance reveals Al's design process, furniture selecting, construction, and backlighting approach for over eighty unique projects. His innovative designs have been featured in houses, condos, and restaurants in seven different countries.
