Superior value is delivered once again! Cellar Advisors just swept the east coast, servicing 6 clients in 7 days. We delivered 1200 refrigerated bottles from California to upstate New York, then cataloged and organized the bottles for less than the cost of UPS Ground!

Cellar Advisors mobilized our disaster service recently for a new client whose home was severely damaged by fire.  His 3500 bottle collection in the basement was unharmed, but the loss of electricity caused cellar temperatures to begin rising towards 70 degrees .  We provided a refrigerated truck and all supplies to move the entire collection in one day.  The wine is now inventoried, organized and securely stored in our warehouse for the foreseeable future.

In the first quarter of 2009, we have completed 3 storage audits for clients who have most of their collections in off-site storage. As an independent third party, we reviewed purchase and storage records and visited the storage facilities to verify that the inventory was accurate. Some of the wine we inspected had not been seen by the owner for over 10 years!

We were recently called in to inventory and pack a 9000 bottle cellar that needed to be liquidated with great speed. We provided manpower and supplies to build 14 pallets of wine and promptly found an appropriate market and managed the delivery and sale of the parcel.

We have recently completed consulting on the construction of an elaborate, multi-room, 2500 square foot cellar.  As construction finished, we also coordinated the delivery of nearly 10,000 bottles from multiple vendors and storage facilities.  Every bottle is now safely in the cellar and fully integrated with Cellartracker.

Cellar Advisors consults on the development and launch of the first direct-to-consumer wine insurance products. Please contact us for more details of this revolutionary product.

As the weather heats up, we have seen an increase in requests for temperature controlled transit regionally and cross country.  So far this year, we have moved 5000 cases for clients.

While conducting a standard CellarTracker project, our team uncovered, investigated and documented over $100,000 of counterfeit wines in our client’s cellar.

Summer is a dangerous time for wine. Around mid June, the phones start ringing as people find that their well laid relocation plans do not include proper temperature controls for their precious wine collections. From June through September, we will help dozens of collectors with local and long distance moves (some even overseas) using refrigerated equipment and carefully assessing the clients insurance situation as another layer of risk management.

A long-time client called us to handle the consolidation, move and sale of nearly 6000 bottles of wine. We sent our crew and equipment out west and setup a makeshift warehouse operation to scan, inventory, pack and ship the dozen or so pallets. We also negotiated with a major auction house to ensure favorable commission terms for this substantial sale. And of course, the records of these transactions are logged in detail on the clients CellarTracker system.
