Wine Procurement Services
We will consult with you to determine your individual wine cellar needs. Based upon your requirements we will procure wines specifically chosen for you.
Inventory and Cellar Analysis
Analysis of your current wine inventory and storage conditions. We will advise if there are wines that we believe to be "over the hill" or need to be consumed in the near term. The ageability of longer lived wines will be discussed. When necessary, we will perform a physical inspection of the cellar and examine the condition of individual bottles. A current valuation can also be provided which will help determine any insurance coverage you may be interested in.
Cellar Design and Management
If you're interested in putting a wine cellar in your home (or expand an existing one) we will refer you to experts who we believe are the best people to do the job. We will assist you on the design phase so the cellar will be designed to accommodate the type of wines you are acquiring (cases, various bottle sizes, etc.).
Representation at Auction
For those who are interested in acquiring older wines it is often necessary to purchase wines at auction. Our knowledge of the auction market will insure that you are getting the right wines at the best prices.
Wine as an Investment
We mostly look at wine as a lifestyle choice which enhances your enjoyment of life, to be shared with family and friends, and not as an investment vehicle. With that said, many fine wines have appreciated greatly over the years. We can help you to identify which wines have the best opportunity for appreciating in value.
New Release Program
We'll keep you current with new releases of your favorite wines... at the best possible prices. We can also advise you of releases of new and exciting wines that you may not be aware of. They may be highly allocated, but we can get them for you to enjoy.
Selling Your Wine
Should you desire to sell any of your collection we can advise as to what would be the best items to sell as well as the best way to do so. If desired, we can handle the entire process for you.
Cellar Relocation
Need to move your collection? We can help you by utilizing experts who specialize in the transportation of wine. Wine can be moved in original wood crates or boxes and in a temperature controlled environment.
