What a stunning video, John! Your friend, Cody, certainly has one of the most impressive wine cellars in the world. The size, the capacity, the layout, the organization and system, the wine collection (ohh, the wines!) including his most special ones, the design, the style, the elegance-this wine heaven is absolutely breathtaking. Magnificent cellar; fantastic video; really great interview! It’s not just a wine cellar; it’s like a passion project. Incredibly fabulous. Thank you for sharing this with us, John and Cody! Cheers to you both!
Thanks very much, Margaux! Yes, he did an outstanding job with it! Very well conceived! It turned out very well. Hope you enjoyed the Q&A too! Cheers!
@@AttorneySomm You’re welcome, John! It’s excellently conceived, indeed! Yes, I enjoyed the Q&A! I believe I mentioned it although I used “interview” but yes I meant the Q&A. Very natural and smooth, and it really shows your mutual passion for wine and conveys your beautiful friendship as well. Wishing you both a wonderful weekend and more wine-tastings together!
@@margauxml Glad to hear it! Hopefully that will be beneficial to those considering building a wine cellar in the future. Hopefully we can do another one in the fall.
@@AttorneySomm I believe it will be! That’s what I forgot to mention. I believe Cody’s wine cellar and this video will be a huge source of inspiration to many wine lovers and collectors who are dreaming of building or planning to design their own cellars at home. Fantastic video, John! Really well done! Congratulations to you both!😊
@@margauxml So glad to hear that, Margaux. We both hope it will be useful. Cheers!
Amazing cellar. He better start drinking a lot more!
Ha! There are definitely lots of bottles being consumed regularly! I helped him out right after this recording. 😆
Love the diversity of your friend’s cellar. Beautiful layout too!
Thank you! Very well conceived! He spent lots of time planning it.
Awesome video. Love seeing other cellars. Love the “build a cellar you want, not need”. Impressive room and selection of wine for sure! Thank you.
Thanks very much, Carl! Glad you enjoyed it! That is definitely excellent advice!
Amazing cellar and great interview, John!
This made me think back on an old article I once read about the Musician Al Stewart and his love of wine and his massive collection.
Thanks very much! So glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! That is a beautiful cellar! And such a nice man. Thanks for the informative interview. 😊
@@lynnebeswick4557 My pleasure! So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! Appreciate the kind feedback! Cheers!
Great video! Thank you both for taking the time to share this amazing cellar and collection. I look forward to learning more about wines from Oregon and visiting the area. John, have you done a tour of your collection?. Just got back from Bordeaux - St. Emilion and had the opportunity to have some amazing value wines with the local wine merchants. Did a tour of Chateau Pavie, stopped by Chateau Angelus and Petrus. Great experience and learned a lot.
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Sounds like you had a fantastic visit! I hope to return to Bordeaux later this year.
My collection is spread out over 6-7 solutions in multiple locations so it would be difficult for me to show at the moment. Hopefully at some point in the future.
What a Beautiful cellar! The floor using old oak barrel is a brilliant creation and fantastic touch to the room.
Thank you! Yes, that was a terrific idea! Cody did a terrific job.
Great video, really enjoyed it! The cellar is spectacular, and particularly enjoyed the discussion of cellar defenders.
@@DavidRamsey1 Thanks very much! Greatly appreciated. Glad you enjoyed it! 👍🍷
Great interview and amazing job on the cellar. Love the design and color.
@@jakemoore1973 Thanks very much! Appreciate the feedback!
Awesome video. Love to see the perspective and mindset of collectors and enthusiasts. Great questions too!
Thanks very much! Glad that you enjoyed it!
Great video .I really liked both your friend and his cellar. No pretention , a real wine enthusiast.From personal experience of trying to control temperatures in hot countries multiple AC`s and a generator are absolutely imperative. If you can link your AC's to some solar set up then even better as the things are getting very expensive to run ! Cheers.
That is a great idea! I wondered about using solar power. I'll have to look into that as well. Appreciate your insights!
Very glad you enjoyed the video! Cody is terrific and has been a good friend for many years. Cheers!
Great video! You had great questions that resonated for all. As a fellow Texan, I can relate to the heat issue. The guy answering the questions was very easy to listen to and learn from. Thanks again!😊
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely beautiful cellar and wines!
@@thecanuck11 Thanks so much! Cheers!
I really enjoyed that John, super impressive cellar and very well thought out. All the best 😎🍷
Thanks very much, Doug! Glad to hear it!
Since I’m a lawyer who specializes in criminal law, security is always on my mind. I’d venture to say you don’t want to reveal all your secrets, but I hope you make sure your valuable collection stays safe. The fact that it’s inherently in a cellar makes it more secure. Be sure to have a strong cellar door with a separate lock! Maybe cameras, too.
Thank you for the advice! It is definitely very secure. An excellent reminder for all who consider building a cellar.
He’s got a great whiskey collection too!
@@thomasmichael6509 Thank you! Yes he does!
I hope that Cody works on that Wine insurance as soon as possible. What a fantastic wine collection and a wonderful personality. I would also consider the generator. Excellent interview, Attorney Som. Keep up the good work.
P.S. I agree with you both. The young Bordeauxs are excellent value for money. I like the barrel floor touch. What a fantastic idea.
I drink a glass of 1990 Petrus to you both.
Thank you! He is definitely considering both.
Very glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you enjoy the Petrus too! Cheers! 👍🍷
Great interview and amazing cellar
@@danielplainview4778 Thank you! Appreciate the kind feedback! Cheers!
Bon on voit bien que certains savent VIVRE
super collection et super taste !
@@emmanuelblanc89 Merci beaucoup! Santé!
Very solid !! Thank you for the tips in Oregon !!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! 👍🍷
An evening with any one of the La Las is an evening well-spent!
@@westgarthwines Thank you! Well said!
Great video, great wines, great talk. I just cant believe that living in central Texas with a cellar woth several hundreds of thousands of dollars he doesnt have a backup power generator! If he has an emergency in the middle of the summer and has no energy during 2 days he is puting his collection at a huge risk. Heck, his very simple solution is to buy a minisplit of 18,000 btu and buy a 5,000 watt portable generator and have that minisplit used ONLY when there is no power. Less than $2,000 for everything and he can have peace of mind.
Excellent information! Thanks very much for sharing it.
Very glad you enjoyed the video! 👍🍷
Thank you for the pin, John; very much appreciated.
You're welcome, Margaux! We appreciate the support and thoughtful comments.
Very inspirational video! What kind of light source is used? I'd be a little concerned about light exposure in a showcase cellar like your friend's.
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great question! The lighting is all LED lighting, which does not harm wine because it does not emit UV rays or give off heat. And out of an abundance of caution, even these non-harmful LED lights are only on when he is making a selection or working in the cellar.
Great collection and beautiful cellar right here in Waco.
Thanks very much! Appreciate the kind feedback.
An interesting video again, thank you! I am curious, what temperature does the gentleman keep his cellar?
Thank you! It’s been 55 when I’ve been there. The cooling units make a lot of noise in the 100-degree Texas heat so we couldn’t record inside the cellar.
Thank you!
Not that we needed all that, but once you get locked into a serious wine collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.”
Yes. Just as with other collections/collectors. But wine is much more fun than collecting stamps!
This was really cool. Thank you. Can you do more content just like this? :)
Thanks! Very glad you enjoyed it! Do my best to come up with good videos! I do have some other friends with home cellars, although perhaps not as big as this one.
@@AttorneySomm We'd be very happy to see it and get their insights on the regions they're most interested in.
Awesome and highly inspirational
You need a generator! All that value! You need a generator - I'm not one for insurance but seriously! How could you replace those bottles' value? Seriously
Very glad you enjoyed the video! Definitely think it is under consideration. Thank you kindly! Cheers!
I have been in that cellar! It’s 🔥 Cody is legit!
Thank you! Completely agree! Cheers!
His bourbon bottles at the background is impressive.
Yes! He does a nice job there too. Thank you! 🥃
Amazing!
@@Ask_lu Thank you kindly! Cheers!
Can you ever consume all?
Or re-sell them since they are in your cellar?
It would not surprise me at all if Cody's children enjoy wine, so that is probably something that he could share and pass along to his children if he is not able to finish them. But certainly selling is quite common as well. And I know that he plans on enjoying the vast majority of them at some point.
Great video. Although I found it hilarious that someone who built a custom wine cellar with probably hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of wine was hesitant to pay for the increased price of cellar tracker.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! I have a different friend who likes to say that everyone can be thrifty in strange ways (even if they splurge in other areas). 😆
@@AttorneySomm he has a dream cellar, so who am I to judge? 😅
@@jacobfiksel3600 😅
have you tasted the Pontet Canet 2019 .. a wine with 100js points .. im just wondering if its real the quality a wine for 100 points.. for example. I tried the Chateau Landiras 2018 for 19 dll and Decanter calified for 95 points..its a great wine for just 19 dll...
Yes, I just tasted it at the James Suckling event in June. It is a tremendous wine. Not sure I would score it 100 points, but it would likely get a 97 or so from me.
what would a bottle of that LA LANDONNE go for on the open market ?
The 1985? It varies quite a bit, but generally around $2,500-$3,000 at this time.
Need UV protection on the wine room lighting.
@@Thesilverthunder777 It is my understanding that these lights do not emit UV.
I need to know what book is that under the No. 2 bag with the lady on pink. LOL
@@jcre2000 Ha! That is my friend Gina. Her book is called Cuisine, Corkscrews and Cultures. It is on Amazon and her website - foodiewinelover dot com
so the champagne isnt standing?
Great question! Unlike some red and white wines, Champagne can be stored standing up at least for a couple years. I ask this question frequently when I visit Champagne houses. They still recommend laying Champagne on its side if you will hold the bottles for more than 2-3 years. I have about 2 cases of Champagne standing upright in one of my cellars at home and have never had any problems with it. But I have much greater space constraints than Cody does.
Wow 😮😮😮😮😮
@@hxl6162 Thank you kindly! Cheers!
@@AttorneySomm As usual your content is fantastic for the wines community Best regards from Brazil. Sharing with all friends
@@hxl6162 Much appreciated! Muito obrigado! Saude! 👍🍷
I want to know who built this cellar. I just bought a new house almost 8500 sq ft but wine room/ entertainment room has small cellar … need to extend my cellar room that can hold atleast 4500 bottles
@@sanjaypatelmd4669 you have a nice area my friend
I will try to find out for you. Is that in the Austin area?
@@AttorneySomm yes sir
@@sanjaypatelmd4669 Unfortunately, it seems like the person who did it is now retired. Also, Cody did a lot of it himself.
Mixed feelings about watching this. Envious in a way but can’t help seeing some excess in all this.
Yes I can certainly understand those sentiments and mixed emotions. I did think this was a good opportunity for an educational video for those building wine cellars. The same lessons learned can be applied to cellars built on a smaller scale as well.
It’s all down to budget. I live in a 3 bed semi and I’ve 400 bottles secreted in every available orifice. It’s amusing that people in the USA build a wine cellar in the middle of the house to show off their best wines with the appropriate lighting and Europeans hide theirs in a cellar underground. Could be because the USA has never been invaded by neighbours or because it’s much cheaper in the long run to dig a hole in the ground. Economics and anthropology in motion.
@@ricknelsteel Thanks for weighing in. I definitely wish we were able to store our wine underground. That is possible in some places in the U.S., but not in Texas. Here we do not have basements at all and my backyard is solid rock. I plant trees using a pick axe.
100 usd cellar defenders?
@@jcre2000 Budget on cellar defenders is relative, but many Bordeaux and Oregon wines are $40-60. Not sure where the $100 is from.
What does that guy do in life? How can you have a cellar like this? His income has to be 2 millions a year minimum…
Cody has been collecting for more than 20 years. Many of the most expensive wines featured were purchased at much lower prices many years ago. Burgundy, for example, was available for a small fraction of today's prices at the time we started collecting.
