We purchased our house last year that has a beautiful wine cellar built by Perry Sims. His attention to detail is unmatched. His book highlights many of the important aspects that go into building a wine cellar. Some reviews complain that there are specific details missing, I would agree, but not for the same reasons. Perry builds custom high end cellars from scratch. With every cellar he builds he has to take into account a multitude of different variables, such as location to exterior walls, power available, ambient temperatures, and most importantly the desires of the owner. When our cellar ac unit went belly up we called him out for help, he was extremely professional and honest. He gave us options of replacement ac units he could install but never once tried to persuade us with a specific brand. He stated he does not feel comfortable recommending one brand over another as he is not in the business of selling ac units but rather building custom wine cellars the home owner will enjoy for generations. We picked a unit and a few weeks later he performed a flawless install. He truly is a artist when it comes to wood working. His book is a great guide for gainingideas and getting an understanding of what is involved in building a cellar. You can read 1000's of books but the bottom line is if your expecting to build one that compares to his workmanship your wasting your time.
