Vineyard Wine Cellars Partners with eSommelier and Cellar Central to Offer Complete Wine Cellar Services

This partnership gives serious wine collectors everything they need to store their collections properly, manage and enjoy the collection and the collection provenance if necessary.

Addison, TX (PRWEB) June 29, 2007 -- Private wine collectors are becoming more aware that there is more to collecting wines than merely purchasing, storing and enjoying. Serious wine collectors know wine needs to be stored properly and their cellars well managed. Cellar management includes an inventory system and a monitoring system to monitor the climate.

Vineyard Wine Cellars, the leading designer and builder of custom wine storage in Texas, is partnering with eSommelier and Cellar Central to provide a complete set of services to wine collectors in Texas. eSommelier provides a touch screen computer system for cellar management and Cellar Central provides a service that monitors the climate along with providing provenance for the collection.

Jost Lunstroth, of Vineyard Wine Cellars in Houston, says "Our clients have collections that have both tangible and intangible value. The collections are assets that require proper care so the ultimate value can be realized. We design and build the correct storage facility including custom racking and a climate control system that will achieve and maintain the correct climate in a Texas summer. Further, we install products from our partners so our clients can manage and enjoy their collections once in the cellar."

eSommelier is a touch screen-based Wine Management system complete with Bar Coding kit for tracking every wine in a large collection so that collectors know what they have, where it is located in the racks, and when to drink it. The system can also be used to track the value of the collection.

Cellar Sensor uses wireless technology to monitor the climate in the wine room and then makes the data available to the collector via the Internet.

"While we provide the refrigeration equipment for the room, Cellar Central provides the collector a means to monitor the climate in the room. Our clients can view climate information about their cellars from anywhere in the world. Cellar Central also provides the provenance of the collection which is very important for valuing the collection," says Lunstroth.

Gary Daniels, of Vineyard Wine Cellars in Addison, adds, "More people are collecting wine as an investment for selling or trading as well as personal consumption. Wine as an investment, how great is that? It is more fun than stocks and bonds. If stored and managed properly wine can be a good investment with a delicious rate of return."

They work in residential and commercial spaces and use a variety of woods & stains, limestone, metal and glass for their racks.
