Curation: perfect wines for a perfect event

The Art of Perfect Wine Selection

Planning an event and overwhelmed by wine choices? Whether you're organizing a wedding, hosting an intimate dinner party, or coordinating a corporate gathering, selecting the right wines can make or break the experience. That's where wine curation comes in—think of it as having a private sommelier in your corner, guiding you to wines that will perfectly complement your event, your guests, and your budget.

How Wine Curation Works:
We start with a comprehensive 60-90 minute consultation, either in person or virtually, where I'll learn everything I need to know about your event. What's the occasion? What food will you be serving? What wines do you and your guests typically enjoy? Are there any definite no-nos? This conversation helps me understand not just your preferences, but the story you want your wines to tell. Based on our consultation, I'll curate a thoughtful shortlist of 4-8 wines specifically chosen for your event.

Then comes the fun part:
We'll meet at a venue of your choice (your home, a private dining room, wherever you're most comfortable) for a guided tasting session. You can invite key decision-makers or simply enjoy it as a couple. We'll taste through each wine together, and I'll share the story behind each bottle, explain why I selected it for your event, and help you understand how it will work with your menu and occasion.

Your Personal Wine Guide:
This isn't just about tasting wines, it's about education and confidence. By the end of our session, you'll not only know which wines you want for your event, but you'll understand why they're perfect choices. I'll create a comprehensive wine packet for you that includes detailed tasting notes, food pairing suggestions, serving recommendations, and purchasing guidance. Think of it as your personal wine playbook that you can reference when you're ready to order, and even share with your caterer or venue.

Complete Curation Experience:
Wine curation is priced at $749 and includes everything: the initial consultation, wine selection and research, the guided tasting session, and your personalized wine packet. The only additional cost is purchasing the wines for our tasting session, which you'll handle based on my curated list. It's a comprehensive service designed to take the guesswork out of wine selection and ensure your event has the perfect liquid accompaniment.
