The Reality

For Collectors

Building a cellar requires planning most collectors skip—instead relying on subscriptions and bin sales that crowd space with bottles that don't fit their lives. There are vintages coming out today you'll regret missing when celebrating a milestone five years from now. We help with everything: allocations by region and style, storage logistics, drinking windows, and knowing when to sell.

For Restaurants

The wine program is one of a restaurant’s most reliable profit centers, but it’s often underdeveloped. Too many lists end up generic, overpriced, or slow-moving because no one has dedicated time to curate them. Guests notice the difference between a thoughtful program and one shaped by distributor pressure. Restaurants need a business-savvy wine expert to manage this with focus; that’s the role we fill.

1. Discovery
We start with your palate (collectors) or concept (restaurants) to understand your parameters and goals, allowing us to create a cellar full of bottles fit for you.

2. Strategy
You receive a clear, actionable plan.

3. Execution
We coordinate with retailers or distributors for the buying process, support staff training as needed, and stay involved for as long as needed.
