After four years in business on Glendale Boulevard in Silver Lake, Silver Lake Wine thought it was time to take everything up a notch, doubling its size in November, 2007, with architect Ana Henton leading the charge. We popped in recently and by our good fortune, Henton was there. She told Racked: "You know, you guys will be the first to photograph the space, since we're still adding a few finishing touches." Silver Lake Wine co-owner Randy Clement was also on hand, and, literally, couldn't stop singing Henton's praises. "We never thought we'd have such a beautiful store, and it's all because of Ana."

Besides doubling the space, Henton made the space very interactive with glass tops on storage units that double as spots for tastings, an ample bar area, and an open space without the disruption of towering aisles. It feels crisp and modern, but also inviting, as we witnessed the place bustling with people browsing and tasting. An architect even got married there.
