"So a GE Monogram is bush–league to you, eh? In that case, you probably own one of the condos under construction at 15 Central Park West in Manhattan. Well, for just a few bucks on top of the purchase price (the units run up to $45 million), you can also buy one of the 30 personal wine cellars in the basement that are being designed and built by David Spon. The cellars, with 10–foot–high ceilings and central temperature and humidity control, will range in capacity from 900 bottles to about 4,000 and in price from $80,000 to $200,000. As a bonus, you'll have use of a central, octagonal tasting room with exposed beams. "It's going to have more of a rustic feel," says Spon, who normally designs high–end rooms for private homes. Coming from him, the cellars are a bargain. "Most of my projects run somewhere between $200,000 and $500,000 per room," he explains. "The cabinetry generally runs from about 40 or 50 grand to about 130." Spon estimates that 15 CPW's $2 million storage area will require roughly 40 tons of wood and that fabrication of the cabinetry will take nearly a year and installation about three months. Lest you think you're top dog for having the penthouse suite and the biggest cellar, this week in Greenwich, Conn., Spon is finishing his biggest—ever project at a private home– a 9,000–bottle cellar for which the cabinetry alone cost $200,000."

"If you invest in first-class wines, it makes economic sense to safeguard their character with sound cellaring practices. In the Washington, D.C. home of Edward Lancaster, designer David Spon created an environment for a 2,200 bottle collection by balancing diverse textures and materials, including slate, clay, wood and glass."

Cover photo of wine cellar designed by David Spon. "'What I liked was his vivid imagination for coming up with creative solutions.' said collector Ron Cornelison. One of those ideas was for a wall mosaic. 'David (had) this concept for a mosaic, and I said, that sounds good. I thought it was going to be small.' It turned out to be roughly 10 feet long, a striking visual anchor to the relatively modest cellar."
