Pittsburgh, PA Custom Wine Cellar Design | Cellar Spotlight

When a beloved hobby becomes more of a lifestyle, a custom home wine cellar room just makes sense. Steve Kotfis approached Wine Racks America in 2022 to start his custom built wine cellar in Pittsburgh because he not only collects wine, but enjoys making it too. Creating a home, one that spoke to his style and preservation needs, for his beloved collection was the ultimate goal.

The challenge Steve and our design team faced with this Pittsburgh wine cellar was the size constraints the room entailed. The desired cellar space was 95” long, 55.5” wide and 95” tall. The hope was to create a functional storage system that could hold a good number of bottles for his ever growing wine collection. After a couple of rounds of revisions, he landed on a beautiful wine cellar featuring display row racks, lattice extenders, high-reveal rack with a diamond cube combo, an arch with a half-height case bin combo, polished off with base, extender and crown molding. Steve chose the base wood material of Ponderosa Pine finished with our custom WineSafe™water-based cherry stain and Wine-Safe™ satin finish. Not only did the final product come out stunning, he and the team were able to create a storage system with a 540 bottle capacity.

Steve’s favorite aspect of his finished Pittsburgh wine cellar product is the design. Having previously worked with our cellar specialists to design his first wine cellar, Steve turned to Wine Racks America a second time to create his custom wine cellar for this unique space. Our goal is not only to bring wine storage dreams to life once but to continue fostering creativity and collaboration on many future wine projects.
