This week, The Wall Street Journal’s Mansion section is rolling out stories from our special food and wine issue. Check out stories like this one on chef Gavin Kaysen’s not-so-professional home kitchen, restaurateur Daniel Alonso’s Chicago house and more.
Raja Amar’s 23-acre estate in Stony Point, N.Y., has plenty of places to enjoy a cocktail. Visitors can choose a bottle from his glass-enclosed custom wine cellar, which holds about $2 million worth of wine from Opus One, Screaming Eagle and other pricey wineries. They can sample it at a table in the wine-tasting room just outside. They can pour a Macallan 25 at the bar and sip it in the whiskey-and-cigar lounge, a cherry wood-paneled room with two commercial-grade smoke eaters.
