Our Process

Our wine cellar consulting process is built around your lifestyle, your palate, and your vision.

Every great wine cellar starts with a conversation. We’ll discuss your storage set up, budget, timeline, and the mix of everyday drinking wines, premium bottles, and allocated releases you’re looking for. Whether you’re designing a custom wine cellar from scratch or organizing an existing collection, we build a plan around your goals (and have a lot of fun doing it!).

Initial Cellar Consultation

Based on our initial conversation, we’ll develop a purchasing plan to meet your goals. From bluechip brands to up-and-coming regions, we fill your cellar on your timeline, and on your budget.

Develop a purchasing plan

Heading on vacation to an exciting wine region? Use our global connections to tour and taste at our favorite wineries. We’re here to consult on what your cellar really needs (and what should stay a vacation memory!). Also available to accompany our clients on national and international buying trips.

BUYING Trips

We recommend quarterly onsite visits to maintain a current inventory, make suggestions for upcoming dinners and events, and highlight the “need to drink soon” bottles in your collection.
