Wine Lockers Keep Your Wine Safe

Joseph and Curtis are pleased to announce another happy customer! We recently finished a clubhouse with wine lockers for each member of the club.



Each locker is made of mahogany wood and can fit up to 16 wine or liquor bottles with room for cigars, poker chips etc. Each locker has a wire mesh front and a individual lock for privacy.



The lockers are getting very popular in places like country clubs, cigar lounges, restaurants (byob), locker rooms, hotels, and of course 50 and over communities. Restaurants without liquor license love the lockers because it makes there VIP clients very happy to feel as if they have "their locker" and it keeps them coming back to the restaurant.



Please give us a call or contact us online if you have any interest in a Joseph and Curtis wine locker. We can build the lockers to any size, depending on the square footage of the room we are building them for.

Cheers!

Movie Review: Bottle Shock


Filmed in the Napa and Sonoma valleys, "Bottle Shock" takes a romantic view of winemaking and the significance of that long-ago tasting in France (1976) where Chateau Montelena a small American winery bested the supreme French wines of the time and sent the wine industry on its head - putting California wines on the map for good. Based on a true story, Bottle Shock chronicles the events leading up to the famous 'Judgment of Paris' tastings, told through the lives of father and son, Jim and Bo Barrett.

A former real estate attorney, Jim sacrificed everything to realize his dream of creating the perfect hand-crafted chardonnay. His business, however, is struggling, and he's not only trying to overcome differences with his stoner son, but is also fighting off the banks.

Meanwhile in Paris, unwitting British wine shop owner Steven Spurrier hopes to revive his own failing business by sponsoring a competition (blind tasting) which will pit the traditional French powerhouse against the California upstarts.

Little did Steven and Jim realize that they were both on course to change the history of wine forever. Bottle shock delivers something for everyone...romance, intrigue,patriotism, and of course WINE. Its amazing to see how hard it was for the California wine maker in 1976 struggling to make ends meat...and being thought of as "hicks"...and to see the powerhouse California wine makers have become in 25 years.

God Bless America!!
