Cellar Appraisals, Insurance Valuations and  General Guidance

 


     We regularly perform cellar appraisals for collectors who are preparing to sell their wine, to move, to make a significant charity contribution, or who need a valuation for insurance purposes.

     We are also available to work with insurance companies on wine-related claims. References can be provided upon request.

     In each case, we will issue a comprehensive report with the following details:

     Wines in the collection;

     Condition of the bottles;

     Fair market value (auction pricing, retail pricing, replacement value, or a comparison of two or more market factors).

     In addition, we can be retained by collectors who desire assistance and guidance in developing a cellar strategy. Available services include the sourcing of California "cult" wines, advice and counsel on the purchase of wines at auction, and acting as the collector's agent in obtaining fine and rare wine from around the world.
