Wine card	reasures and a Pitcher n old times treasures were kept in closets, trunks and cellars. They were concealed in walls and left bricked-up for decades or centuries. ur treasures are great wines. They cannot be bricked-up, put in a trunk or a closet where they will suffocate and die. e keep wines in a special place called the "Wine Room". It is a sort of cache inside a brick wall. The floor is inlaid with pieces of marble. Suspended from the arched ceiling is an iron lampshade with a bulb casting a dim light around. here is a niche in one wall where a time-worn copper pitcher stands as a symbol of this unique room. It was used to pour wine into goblets. Today it is just a reminder of its former usage, but a jubilant reminder amidst its present surroundings. t every wall with each stone polished by time stand old wooden shelves, row upon row. Their surfaces glisten from repeated touches of hands and from smooth bottle glass. Rows of wine bottles are kept on the shelves according to vintage and brands. To ensure their full-bodied life there must be a special temperature, fixed humidity, a particular tilt and a careful almost trepid attitude. All this guarantees their health and longevity. With all the wine rules observed the Wine Room comes to life. The scores of its bottles shimmer with mysterious sparks and patches of light. ach wine is an ispired fantasy. There are wines that wait for their hour impatiently as they are already ripe. Yet there are some which are still to gain full strength, flavour and character. here is never too much wine. This is why a special chamber is arranged for it. There every bottle has a chance to fully ripen and then be appreciated for its worth. atching restaurant life through the locked wrought-iron doors and stained glass windows wine probably realises that it embodies a timeless value.
