What People Are Saying About Premier Cru Wine Cellars

We’re loving our wine cellar.  Best money I’ve ever spent.

T.G., C.F.O.
Couldn't be happier with the construction of my new wine cellar.  In fact, I have already hired Premier Cru to construct Phase 2 which is an addition to the current cellar.  Paul and his crew are 100% professional and trustworthy. I would highly recommend them to friends, family, and anyone looking to have a state-of-the-art, beautiful wine cellar.

These are no ordinary folks… THEY CARE!  One of the BEST experiences I have ever had.  The design, work, and attention to detail is remarkable!  They are simply THE BEST you can find to get this work done.

In starting LearnAboutWine (where you can get your L.A.W. Degree) one of the great choices I made was having you design & build us a beautiful wine cellar - Thank you! I use it every day and it has helped us immensely!

Paul LaRussa helped me greatly, navigating through the labyrinth of Burgundy, snatching treasures along the way.  The mysteries of Burgundy remained unsolved to me to this day, but the experience(s) have been profound.  Now Paul is leading the way through the magic of crystal that properly presents the essence of Bacchus' wonders in the mine they deserve.  The experience can be astonishing.  It ain't just a glass.

Premier Cru Wine Cellars built a bespoke wine cabinet for me and the results are stunning: a molded glass interior cabinet backlit with LED lighting, vintage view racks, clear glass doors and a stainless steel frame. It is a wine cabinet and a piece of art!

Paul, Wine cabinet looks great and client is beyond pleased.  Thank you so much... All my sincere best and again, great job!

We started with the idea of making a small wine fridge to store 400 bottles of wine. During Paul's visit to our house, he described a vision of making a "wine garden" to fit with the theme of our home. We couldn't be more pleased with how the cellar turned out. Paul is truly an artist and his background in construction makes him even more competent and qualified to deliver on his promises. Visitors and neighbors always compliment the cellar. The Wine Garden has truly enhanced our home's appeal. I can't say enough good things about Paul's crew, especially Corey.

Thank you so much to the Premier Cru Wine Cellars team for creating a space that has changed our house so much. It is truly now the focal point that we always wanted. My wife and I started with a simple idea and it only grew with the input and advice from David and Corey. The end product came out better than we could have ever expected. Corey's artistic vision and his ultra fine craftsmanship made this process seamless. Kudos for all the work you guys do. If anyone else is even thinking of putting together an in-home cellar, don't even bother with the competition... these guys are the ones to use. Literally when people walk in our house, the first thing they say is "WOW look at that"

Paul LaRussa's imagination and design sense is amazing.  I’ve now seen a number of his visions turned into reality, and each one is a unique, beautifully realized and extraordinary object of art.

A LaRussa cellar isn’t just somewhere to store wine – it’s your special place to spend time with your collection. "I really didn’t want a generic wine cellar," says Gaal. "Paul is an artist, a discoverer. This oddly shaped room scared other cellar makers I talked to or, at the very least, limited them. Paul wasn’t like them. He loved the angles. He will not play victim to challenges. He sees them as an opportunity to do something different."
Kerri Gaal, Lawson-Gaal Residence

I’ve been through a number of remodels and I’ve never worked with such a consistently pleasant, talented and hard-working Crew.  The best part is, we’re enjoying our wine cellar more than we ever expected
