Cool Hunter reports about a hotel and restaurant that has taken it wine cellar er, ar, storage to new heights, literally:
Many restaurants are using all sorts of 'gimmicks' in an attempt to stand out from the crowd. One of the cleverest is Aureole, the restaurant in the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. Inspired by a scene in Mission Impossible, restaurant owners erected a four-story wall to house its 10,000 bottles wine collection. Once you order, an acrobat ('wine angel') scales the giant 42-foot-high wall 40 to 60 times a day to get your bottle. We love it.
From Aureole: Adam D. Tihany designed Aureole's wine tower with mechanical hosts to lift wine stewards or "wine angels" up and down the four sides of the tower.
