This Alberta-based couple began their wine collection after enjoying a bottle of Corton Charlemagne at a remarkable restaurant during their anniversary in Les Baux-de-Provence, France, in 2009.

The bottles were stored in a custom-built stone cellar in their home. What started with a single bottle of Corton Charlemagne one evening ignited a passion for collecting and designing a wine cellar filled with many cherished bottles enjoyed over special occasions.
