This San Antonio home for sale comes with a $90,000 floor-to-ceiling tequila wallA San Antonio homebuilder has put his residence on the market for $1.6 million, and in addition to high-end features such as a gourmet kitchen and a climate-controlled wine cellar, it includes a floor-to-ceiling wall to house his $90,000 tequila collection. That's right. Not a built-in liquor cabinet devoted to tequila, but an entire wall. While one potential buyer included some of the rare bottles in his bid, listing agent Miguel Herrera said that only includes a third or so of the collection.
