Cataloging Services
We begin the job by cataloging every bottle
in your cellar and reviewing the inventory with you. If desired, we will
perform a cellar reorganization that allows for optimum space
considerations based on your current consumption and future acquisition
patterns. We then place the list into Cellartracker, an online database which will
provide you with instant access to your collection over any internet
connection (or even through your cellphone or PDA). This allows you to
view each of your wines with reviews, scores, current valuation, drinking
timeframe, and location in the cellar. You can run a myriad
of reports, including restaurant-style wine lists,
drinkability summaries, summaries by region, type or vintage, and filtered listings showing wines from a
particular, region, type price range, etc.
"Robin brings great energy, passion and reliability to any project
she takes on. It's a pleasure working with her, and she is very fair in
all respects. - Jeffrey Strauss, San Diego CA
Wine Sales Consultation
Once we perform the inventory service
described above, many clients are surprised to find that their collections
no longer reflect their current drinking patterns. For instance, a wine
collector that originally bought mostly California Cabernet may now be drinking
more Burgundy. At Starkland, we are experts in
rebalancing cellars. We start by creating summary reports of your
collection based on totals per region, type of wine, price categories and
drinkability dates. Then we work with you on rebalancing your collection
based on your current preferences. We have relationships with the top
auction houses, retailers, and online auction
websites, and can take care of the entire sales process, ensuring you get
top dollar for your wine.
"Starkland took care of every step of the sales process, and I got
top dollar for my wines at auction. I didn't have to do anything but cash
the check!" - Adam Fein, Phoenix MD
Ongoing Cellar Maintenance
Unless you convert to Mormonism, your
cellar is not going to be static. Most of our clients find the online
system so easy to use that they maintain their own inventory after we
set them up. However, if desired, we will schedule periodic visits to keep your
collection perfectly organized. If you are using our Bar Code labeling
service, this may only be needed once a year, otherwise, we typically
perform this service once a quarter, or any time after a large purchase of
wine has been made.
"I always knew over the years
that I had collected the finest wines. Now that my cellar has been
inventoried by Starkland, it's no longer a guess." - Dan and
Kim Walker, San Antonio TX
