Wine tower in Las Vegas

Aureole at the Mandalay Bay serves up a wine angel

By Zeke Quezada, About.com

If you find yourself looking for a complete culinary experience it’s time you stepped into Aureole. Charlie Palmer of New York Aureole has put together a gem of a restaurant. What to me is the true highlight though is the wine.

The Best places for Wine in Las Vegas

I could tell you about the food, but it would be a redundant, that was good, this was great, I love so and so and I thoroughly enjoyed the…. You know what I mean.

If you want a personal review drop me an email and I will let you know my favorites.

What I want to highlight is the wine tower. It gets talked about often enough but it does indeed demand that kind of attention. Imagine this 42 foot tall tower that holds 10,000 bottles and is set at the precise temperature for your drinking enjoyment.

I should make this perfectly clear, I enjoy alcohol no matter how it is stored, but when it is presented in such an artistic and futuristic fashion it almost makes me want to drink some more. (My wife shrugs at that suggestion because almost anything makes me want to drink more.)

If you want a good look at the tower and the wine list you can wander into the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas. You will be able to take a look at the clever eWine book. Essentially, imagine your palm pilot with the bravado of a shooter who has been holding the dice for thirty-five minutes. This machine is the gear guy’s dream.
