Interior view of one of the caves containing 12,000 quarts of champagne, owned by brothers Pio M. and Peter S. Goggi of Stapleton, Staten Island, New York, shown April 15, 1945. The building is built over vast caves 50 feet beneath the hillside, which keeps the wine at proper temperature. The Goggi brothers bought the building, which housed the old Bishop brewery, in 1903.
