“Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind
Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?”
Les Emmerson

Every wine cellar needs rules! Just as we use CellarTracker.com to avoid chaos in our cellar holdings, so we have rules to avoid similar challenges when it comes to using our cellar. After all, rules are just a part of life.

They aren’t hard to understand and we’ve done our level best to keep them from being onerous. But then again rules are rules and your parting gift for skipping them is banishment.  So a word to the wise here: If you like the D’Aquila-Phillips Wine Cellar, follow the rules!

Our cellar is relatively young and limited by a wallet that is never flush enough to allow us to buy all we want. Our vintages are on the young side, which our oldest dating back only to 1999.

So for your enjoyment, here are our Wine Cellar Rules.  They are few, but sacrosanct!

House Rules: D’Aquila-Phillips Wine Cellar

********

1) No one allowed in the cellar unaccompanied, unless blood or friend.

2) Don’t worry about pairings. You can drink whatever you like best.

3) If I give you the key to the cellar you are free to pick your bottle at will.

4) Wine snobs need not apply, however, beatniks and hippies are always welcome.

5) Want to saber one of our bottles? NO! 100% non-negotiable.

6) Think our cellar contains too many reds? Too bad. It doesn’t.

7) Racks are anchored to the walls, but please be gentle when removing your bottle.

8) If you are really nice we might reveal the location of “The Annex” and “Cellar North”.

9) If you drop anything and break it, I will definitely cry.

10) If you have questions about any bottle just ask!

Salute!  Cheers!  Salud!  Na zdraví!  Santé!  L’chaim!  Saúde!  Một hai ba, yo!
