Eldorado Stone Brings Tuscan Wine Country To The HomeNew Gemstone VinoWall Reinvents Architectural Stone Veneer In a Purposeful Application

May, 2009 – The Tuscany region of Italy is renowned for its landscapes, its artistic heritage, and its timeless intermingling of both stone and brick to provide the visual vocabulary for its architecture. Taking inspiration from this Old World palette of colors and textures, Eldorado Stone is proud to offer its revolutionary VinoWall, part of the new Gemstone™ Walls collection, which can transform an ordinary room into a stunning and functional showcase for a wine enthusiast's prized assortment. Installed in a dining room, kitchen, accent wall, or even a personal wine cellar, the VinoWall combines the rich, believable feel of antique brick and stone, while providing purposeful space for wine storage, built-in refrigeration and even a serving bar.

Like all of the selections in the Gemstone Walls collection, the VinoWall takes advantage of virtually any of the Eldorado Stone profiles of stone and brick. However, to achieve the ultimate in Tuscan authenticity, specific styles (such as Canterbury ViaBrick®, installed in a herringbone pattern) are suggested, along with individual colors and techniques for grouting.

Making these showcase-quality results attainable has been facilitated by the VinoWall Idea Book. It offers step-by-step guidance for a flawless transformation; as its name implies, it's also filled with exciting design tips to maximize any custom VinoWall. "It's not so much a 'how-to guide' as it is a 'recipe book,'" notes Brent Spann, vice president of marketing for Eldorado Stone. Indeed, when downloading the free Idea Book, search criteria will generate the nearest Eldorado Stone dealer in the area, who in turn can recommend skilled masons to help with installation. The VinoWall will be showcased at the 2009 Kitchen Bath Industry Show in Atlanta, Ga.
