The Cellar of All Cellars

Check this article out - here's a teaser:
In the limestone and shale beneath the weekend house that he and his wife, Linda, share in this little New England town in northwestern Connecticut, Mr. Smith has constructed a cellar of thousands of fantasies, covering almost 8,000 square feet and holding more than 65,000 bottles. As if that weren’t enough, more than half of Mr. Smith’s collection is in magnums, twice the size of normal bottles, and the count doesn’t include the 14,000 bottles auctioned off by Sotheby’s last November, which raised almost $5.33 million for his alma mater, the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass.
