APPRAISALS
A wine cellar can be an ever evolving entity. Be it as a hobby, as an investment, or an asset of your estate, it is constantly changing and can only be accurately appraised by someone with a deep expertise in wine. With my 25 years in the wine industry in all aspects, including 8 years of valuing and cataloging thousands of wines, I can generate the exact appraisal that works for your needs. In this new Covid 19 era, we can discuss how best to appraise your cellar in a safe and conscientious manner.
SOMMELIER SERVICES
Let me be your personal Sommelier. Whether you might want cellar consultation, and recommendations on what to drink and when to drink them. I can provide individuals or groups comprehensive wine education - from Wine 101 on up to deep dives of select regions/styles/grape varieties. Or maybe you need help with a wine list construction and consultation for your restaurant/bar? With 8 years experience of running a program I can make suggestions for specific wine pairings to go with every menu or catering options.
RISK
MANAGEMENT
Your wine cellar is more than just a collection, it is valuable property that needs to be secured. Let's discuss some of the loopholes and pitfalls when it comes to your wine cellar and how best to protect your liquid assets. We can discuss what to ask your insurer about your cellar and the best practices to cover the entirity of your investment. Just in case something ever happens to your cellar, you aren't blindsided by their response.
