Feliz Creek Cellars

Feliz Creek Cellars is a family owned and operated winery that produces small batch wines using only the finest grapes grown on the estate vineyards. In addition, they are an exemplary resource for premium winemakers in Mendocino County, California.

When Gary Breen of Feliz Creek Cellars contacted us at Western Steel Buildings to provide a state-of-the-art building system for his new facility we knew we could exceed his expectations and provide a modern steel structure that was efficient and climate controlled. Feliz Creek Cellars is now in operation, complete with the latest equipment built for quality processing as well as real time web-based tracking of aging wines for local premium wine producers.

The Building

This attractive 26′ tall structure is actually two attached buildings for a total of 60,000 square feet and is a true climate-controlled facility maintaining a standard temperature and humidity within. This was able to be achieved by using insulated metal panels (IMPs) for the building envelope combined with innovative technology. The exterior is finished with the addition of parapets at the perimeter keeping any mechanical or HVAC units on the roof hidden, complimenting the sleek and modern aesthetics.

The Tanks

There are three sizes of fully jacketed custom stainless steel tanks built by Westec.6,878 gal. / 13,550 gal. / 20,400 gal. All tanks are set up for stave aging.

The Equipment

From industry standard waukesha pumps to completely customizable barrel steamers, Feliz Creek Cellars has the proper tools to age wine. Micro-oxygenation is available on stainless steel tanks and smaller lots may be stored in Flexcubes to allow for passive oxygenation.

The Crush Line

The crush line is an assembly of the latest boutique equipment designed to preserve grape quality. Automated sorting and gentle handling of fruit equates to the cleanest possible composition and fruit is uncompromised. Their clients can see real-time operations and lab results as soon as they are complete. Inventory and status of wines are available anytime and anywhere their clients have web access.

Mark has always been so professional and responsive to my questions and needs even though I have never been able to actually give him any business. I would definitely feel comfortable with Mark in any business situation.

I did fairly exhaustive research on what construction company to work with in beginning our project and bottom line I got lucky to find Western Steel and specifically Ben Meister.Thinking that it would be best to deal directly with a manufacturer is one of the first mistakes I would have made. Ben advised me early on that WS build a plethora of buildings and therefore have access to problem solvers at the manufacturing plants. As a stand alone buyer we would have little to no access to these same expediters of issues which are bound to occur.I enthusiastically can recommend Western Steel in large part by how they have handled the nuances of the supply chain. At every opportunity they have done the right thing by our company and we will be life long customers of Western Steel.

I have worked with and done projects for western steel for over 6 years now. Aaron, Ben, Wes, Marcos, Stuart and Katie are great to work with and haven’t ever had any issues with missing material or delayed arrival of materials. As an erecting contractor I haven’t every had design or fabrication issues while installing roughly 50 of the buildings provided by Western Steel buildings.

I don't write reviews often but it's been an absolute pleasure to work with Aaron and the rest of the team at Western. Aaron helped us through all phases from design to delivery. The team made sure we had a workable design that served our site specific needs and kept us informed on lead times all the way through production to delivery. I look forward to working with them again on future projects.

Marcus Hensel is someone that everyone should have on their team. He is super transparent and has great communication skills. From the first time we spoke to now we have grown a great relationship that I am the beneficiary of. He always answers his phone and always has the clients interest in mind. I am glad he’s my contact to the company!’

Aaron, Ben and the whole Western Steel family took extremely good care of us. From day 1 until now, they have provided excellent communication, service and quality materials. I wouldn't buy a building from any other company. They exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend them to anyone I know. A+

Western Steel is a top notch supplier that operates with honesty and integrity. The speed and short lead times they produce saves a lot of time and money. I have have had the honor of working with Mark Blume over the course of multiple projects and have had extremely positive experiences. Mark is very hard working, honest, and trustworthy. He is extremely knowledgeable and looks out for his customers. Thank you for going above and beyond on each project and making this process enjoyable.

Been working with Mark Blume on a number of buildings and he is top notch. What I like most is knowing I'm working with someone that is honest, straightforward, and truly wants to make sure I am getting the right building and value for my project.

Western Steel Buildings, and their team, especially Mark Blume and Wes Jones have time and again shown their industry knowledge though our interactions. As an Insulated Metal Panel (IMP) specialist installer, we have worked very closely with Mark and Wes on a number of projects which have always been handled professionally and thoughtfully as anyone might expect from a top tier company like Western.However, I’m writing this review today because of the above and beyond actions their team has shown our company and this industry. These folks are genuinely the most knowledgeable and passionate our company has contacted and worked with.Mark recently advised on some products that would aid in the install of a roof system we are currently preforming for the military which has saved us some time and money resulting in us landing the contract.I am not saying call these guys for free advice, I’m just saying their expertise is not found anywhere else in the industry! Thank you to Mark, Wes, and the rest of the team over at Western for all the help and professionalism over these years!—Patrick GrugelBuffalo Craftsmen LLC

When we needed a 40,000 square foot building for our new automated beam line, Western came through for us, bending over backward to meet our very aggressive schedule. Thanks Ben and Wes!

We recently purchased a new home in AZ and planned to also relocate our business as well. Initially I reached out to Western Steel Buildings after finding them on a Google search. Mark Blume responded immediately with a lot of great information.Upon further inquiring, with Mark, i found him to not only be super responsive but also a wealth of information and help! In fact the original job I inquired about completely changed and we actually ended up buying a home with an already existing huge steel building build out in the back of the new 3.2 acre property.Even when asking Mark about the preexisting structures which he actually confirmed were not built by them, he was still willing to give me some advice and recommendations on how to approach my project, even if it was with a different manufacturer.Bottom line, Mark is all about communication and customer service. His responses are super fast and full of content, not just a simple yes or no. I truly wish I could have done business with Mark and Western this time around but will definitely consult with them on future projects.Just felt it was important to acknowledge great customer service provided by Mark and Western!

Western Steel Buildings is the best in their industry! Mark Blume helped me every step of the way. His dedication was unbelievable! He was working on my project at all hours of the night to make sure my project was completed on time. Wes Jones made sure the building was delivered on time and helped my subs constantly. The team at Western Steel Buildings takes incredible Care of their customers! They are a local Park City, Utah company. I highly recommend Western Steel Buildings.

Back in January we purchased a 40X50X20 ft. building from Western Steel. They were very helpful and patient as I changed my mind several times during the design phase. We shopped around for pricing and Western Steel was by far the best price for a quality steel building. I also like that it is manufactured right here in Utah.

I decided to work with Western Steel about 12 months ago and have just received delivery of the metal. With dozens of revisions and last minute changes, Wesley was there to help every step of the way. Customer service at its finest, and I could not appreciate that more. I will be using Western again in the future and highly recommending them around town. Thanks for everything guys!

We used Western Steel Buildings to design and fabricate a steel building for us. From the first call to the completion of the construction the team at Western provided excellent service. Every aspect of the project was competed on time and we stayed on budget. We will definitely be using Western Steel Buildings for future projects and highly recommend.

Great company! Fast to quote and a pleasure to work with in Utah County. I have worked on projects with Jessica up in Park City and that office is super fast to respond to any inquiry we have.

Love the Building. THe County approved the plans the first time with no edits. Mark Blume in the Sales Department was easy to work with. I would recommend Western Steel.

The support we received from Western Steel Buildings from the inception of our project to completion was nothing but professional. My wife and I have successfully completed a 24'x30' building much in part due to the help we received along the way from Western Steel's knowledgeable staff.

Working with the people at Western Steel Buildings has been a pleasure. They are prompt, professional, helpful, accommodating and do outstanding work. We ordered a 40x50, owner builder projects of this scale can be very stressful but the exceptional customer service and support that I received made the whole process alot more manageable. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Ben and the rest of the team at Western Steel are nothing short of fantastic. If you are looking for a steel building you can't go wrong with Western Steel. They did exactly as promised. I look forward to working together on our next project.

Western Steel Buildings is very good to work with. I'm very happy with the building. I did some parts of the construction myself and subcontracted some parts. They were helpful in that process. Everything was there in the first shipment, which turns out to be important when your subcontractor is on site with a crew and ready to go.

Western Steel Buildings has been a great company to work with and they definitely care about their customer's experience and satisfaction. Ben goes above and beyond.

The Salt Lake Astronomical Society purchased a steel building from Western Steel Buildings. It is 45'X25'X10'high sitting on top of 8-foot high concrete walls. The building houses the largest amateur telescope in the world and the choice of building was perfect for our needs.Western Steel Buildings was very good to work with and the building was very cost effective. I am very pleased with the quality of the building, its looks and how easy they made the purchase and construction phase. They lined up the contractor to erect the building and that company did an excellent job.I won't hesitate to once again purchase from Western Steel Building when we have additional needs

Western Steel has proven to be a premier Steel Building supplier. From start to finish they were involved in the design, Fabrication, delivery and construction of the building to insure that all expectations were met and on time. After dealing with several other companies in the process of looking for a Steel Building, I will never go anywhere else. The building went up smooth and has been better than expected. Definitely will purchase from them when I need another building.

We purchased a 80 x 60 foot steel building from Western Steel this year. Our building arrived on time as promised, came with all the parts promised, and we had absolutely no issues! Ben was great to work with. He was in constant communication with us through the whole process. Our building is beautiful!! Also, it had barely been up a week when we got 80 mile an hour winds and we had no issues. We would definitely purchase from them again!
