The Taste of Ambiance

Alberto (Al) Fuentes is the president, master designer, and
consultant of Dragon Cellars. He has been dedicated to making this unique
company a success, culminating in seventeen years of providing demanding
clients the most innovative luxury wine cellars and related furniture in the
market. His projects have been sold in over seven countries, with more to come!

Al was born in New York City in 1960 to immigrant parents
from La Coruña, Spain. He lived back and forth between the US and Spain in his
childhood and young adulthood, where he served as a US Air Force captain. He
joined in 1979 and opted for an early retirement in 1995. During this
timeframe, he worked mostly in the aircraft maintenance area, having been
stationed in various bases, and left with the position of commander after
serving in a training detachment in Georgia.

Returning to Spain with his family as a civilian, he held
numerous jobs related to human resources, headhunting, and worked as an
associate professor for three universities, teaching over eight subjects in a
ten-year span.

In 2007 he decided to start up a company in Madrid for the
design, manufacturing, and installing of custom wine cellars, focusing on new
and innovative designs in the luxury market. In 2014 the company, Dragon
Cellars, was established in Delray Beach, Florida, and has since created works
of art for the display, storage, care, and enjoyment of wine in the most
exclusive homes and restaurants. Dragon Cellars has completed more than 320
projects.

Al holds an MBA from Albany State University, a master's in
aeronautical science, a bachelor's in professional aeronautics from Embry
Riddle Aeronautical University, and a powerplant technology associate degree
from the Community College of the Air Force.
