Whether you’re a seasoned collector with a well-established cellar or exploring a newfound interest in wine, we can advise on and manage all aspects of your collection. What is the right size of collection for how we entertain? What are the best wines to cellar from a special vintage or region? Which wines have the greatest likelihood of appreciating in value? What wines in my collection might I consider selling? Where do I start in establishing a cellar? We answer these questions and guide you in creating and managing an extraordinary wine collection that suits your tastes, interests, and lifestyle.

From the world’s most rare, collectible, and legendary bottles, to everyday wines that deliver the greatest value, we work with a global network of reputable suppliers to source the world’s finest wines on your behalf. We focus on wines with the best provenance and at the best prices available. Whether a single bottle for a special occasion, a few cases for your family and friends to enjoy over a holiday, or a multi-thousand bottle cellar from scratch, we can handle all buying and sourcing on your behalf, from purchase to placement in your cellar.

A wine cellar can be a very special thing, a legacy, a passion, an investment, and a source of joy, connection, and limitless exploration. We understand the potential and value of an exceptional wine cellar and love to design them. From an exquisite showpiece cellar designed to inspire and entertain, to a hallway closet lovingly converted to care for a growing collection, we handle all of the details. From optimizing the capacity and layout to suit your needs, to ensuring that bottles are fully secured and proper climatic conditions maintained, we work with our clients, their architects, builders, and interior designers in creating the wine cellar of their dreams, from design through construction management to completion.

We bring our extensive experience in collecting and sourcing fine wines to evaluating and valuing cellars of any size, whether for sale, insurance valuation, or otherwise. We also broker fine wine collections and individual bottles of high value, optimizing your return and handling every step of the process from evaluation to negotiating price, packing, shipping and delivery.
-
We work with chefs, restaurant wine directors, and event planners to create wine dinners, tastings, and events of the highest order. We select and source the wines, other fine beverages, as desired, and pair them with an existing menu, or we can propose a menu and pairing to suit your needs, from a casual dinner with friends to a large celebration. We are available to organize and manage staff for large events or personally pour a specially-curated selection of amazing wines for more intimate gatherings.

With a focus on fine and rare wines, we guide you in exploring and understanding the breadth and beauty of the world’s wines. The best way to learn about wine is to experience it, so our preferred educational format is tasting and discussion tailored to suit your specific interests. We offer everything from foundational level classes to in-depth tastings focused on the greatest producers of a specific region. And, as desired, we organize guided travel and tastings to fine wine regions across the globe, which is the best way to gain an intimate understanding of a place and its wines.
-
We offer planning, organization, and guiding of trips to the world’s fine wine regions. The best and most memorable way to learn about wine is to visit the place, meet the winemakers, walk the vineyards, and taste in the cellars where the world’s great wines are produced. These travels and the relationships built on them are some of the most treasured facets of our experience with wine and we welcome the opportunity to plan a trip tailored to your tastes and interests.
