Consulting and Troubleshooting

Wine Cellar Consulting

Any aspect of building a wine cellar can be accomplished by a person reasonably skilled in construction and woodworking. The only thing preventing them from constructing a wine cellar that isn't a hazard to the wine or the building's structure is just a few crucial pieces of information. Nobody wants to invest all the resources needed to build a wine cellar, put tens of thousands of dollars worth of wine in it, and then discover a mistake that will ruin either the wine or their home. Spending an hour or so with a wine cellar expert before embarking on a wine cellar project can save a lot of heartache.

When consulting or troubleshooting, we get straight down to the business at hand. We do NOT waste consulting time trying to sell you on our services. We are accustomed to working with busy, intelligent individuals, primarily wine lovers and professional contractors, who prefer to focus on obtaining the key pieces of information they need. Typically, we provide quick answers to all your questions, leaving time for you to ask follow-up questions either immediately or at a later date, while still utilizing the remaining time from your initial paid hour.
