Malcolm Cummings, his wife Emma and their young
daughter moved into their 200-year-old farmhouse two
years ago. Malcolm, who works for a US-based Fintech
company, quickly identified an underutilised room ideal
for storing wine.
The Cummings residence has four large cellars. “When we
bought the house the cellars were earmarked variously as
a teenage hangout, a snooker room, a garden store room
and a room that housed an old piano. As soon as I walked
into the piano room I knew it was going to be just right for
our wine,” Malcolm says.
I like taking guests to the cellar to pick out
three or four bottles to open up and enjoy.
