CANEEL TO ADD WINE ROOM WITH PRIVATE DINING

Sept. 5, 2001 – Fine wine connoisseurs, take note: When the winter tourism season starts in December, Caneel Bay Resort will open its new 1,000-bottle wine room — which will include a private dining area that seats a dozen people.
"This reflects our ongoing and never-ending attempt to improve the property," general manager Brian Young said.
The wine room will be an extension of Turtle Bay Restaurant, the resort's most exclusive dining room. Young said the property's rarest and most expensive wines already are stored and served at Turtle Bay. The wine room, which will be temperature controlled, will provide an improved storage environment for those and other wines.
He said two walls will be added to the existing building in order to create the wine room.
Caneel Bay has asked contractors to submit proposals. Bid documents will be available beginning Friday, and proposals are due by Sept. 21. Young said he expects work to start Oct. 1. He declined to estimated the project's cost before bids are in.
