Stone wall: A study in contrast

We chose Eldorado Stone’s Cut Coarse stone veneer—dry-stacked here, like limestone—to set off the bar’s smooth finishes (from $7 per sq. ft. plus installation).

21st-century modern furniture

CB2’s zinc-plated iron-wire Reed chairs ($119 each) and white-oak Teepee dining table ($369) add a touch of neo-retro whimsy and warmth to the tasting area.

Wet bar

Cabernet-colored concrete (markconcrete.com), made with 95 percent recycled content, disguises any stains. An integral sink and a Kohler Torq faucet (from $646) complete the bar.

The custom cabinetry is American black walnut. Shelves hold books, carafes, glasses, and, of course, bottles—about 175 in all, including what’s in the two GE Monogram wine fridges.
