    Horse Ridge Cellars

    The storage facilities most obviously attuned to the private collector in an old cold war bunker so that they can claim these cellars in rural Connecticut 'were originally built to withstand an indirect hit from a nuclear warhead' which is certainly a unique feature, along with its 12-ton bank vault door. Temperature is the standard 55 deg F and relative humidity 70 % and, unusually in the US, the fees, which are charged per case per month rather than in often awkward specific volumes, include insurance against theft and breakage.

They also specialise in moving wine collections within the US for those who are relocating their cellars. They also offer specialised storage and shipping services for restaurant groups. They offer on-line access to inventories 24/7 which includes drink windows and valuations via their own sophisticated tracking software. Temperatures are maintained at 56 deg F and relative humidity about 65%. Sotheby's Wine Department operates on site within the facility.
