We offer specialized one on one or small group drinks advisory services you can use for custom training sessions or to build, manage, value or grow a cellar.
Custom Drinks Training Advisory Service
Our by-the-hour service aims to help you start, build or grow your cellar. We train and advise you on wine, beer, spirits, mixology and we’ll consult with you to answer your general questions about your cellar.
Wine Cellar Management
For serious wine collectors, our complete wine cellar management services focus on providing you with a stress free experience. We take care of time consuming tasks such as wine buying and selling, shipping, organization, inventory, maintenance and marketplace tracking which, in turn, allows the collector more time to enjoy and appreciate their wine.
Organization
Organization is the key to a well managed and fully optimized cellar. Our team takes care of unpacking all of your boxes, organizing the collection by region and completely removing associated detritus. Furthermore, we make sure to come back periodically to assure optimal conditions are maintained.
Wine Inventory
We take care of cataloguing and inventorying every single bottle from your cellar by:
- Location
- Bin
- Vintage
- Domaine
- Grape
- Cuvee
- Quantity
- Size
We work with CellarTracker, a powerful content channel that stores information about wines and wine collections that allow us to import scores, notes and drinking ranges from a variety of the top wine critics and voices.
Web Enabled Barcoding
Allowing you to access your inventory, scores, tasting notes, drinking ranges and valuations from any internet source, extensive data services like CellarTracker are a definite asset. The software is web-based, flexible, scalable and feature-rich. Since it is the largest repository of tasting notes in the world, this product grows in content everyday.
Cellar Design
Our experience will ensure your cellar is optimized for easy and efficient use. Working with teams of designers, architects, carpenters and builders helps us avoid common mistakes and assures your satisfaction with the final product.
Wine Collection Appraisal
Regardless of its size, it’s important for collectors to be aware of the value their wine collection holds. Groovy Grapes can produce a wine collection appraisal for you and your family, no matter at what stage your wine collection is. We’ll then help you analyze this information to help you make important decisions about your collection like a potential wine move, obtaining wine insurance, or an acquisition or liquidation.
Cellar Acquisition & Liquidation
Since we already have established relationships with major importers, brokers, retailers and auction houses, we can provide you a diverse supply source with preferential access or terms. We leverage our connections with our many clients to help you buy fine wine or sell fine wine at the right price, with the best terms.
If your goal is to acquire a complete collection, we can act as your purchasing agents for the retainer of your choice. We’ll begin with a wine tasting to determine your interests and palate preferences. Once that is determined, we’ll purchase wine accordingly at major wine auctions or through private sale to find the bottles that best suits your taste buds.
If you’re looking to sell your collection, we’ll be more that happy providing the inventory and arranging all shipments required to get the collection to sale.
