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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
