St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) September 30, 2004 -- Cellar Advisors, a Saint Louis based wine cellar services company, is proud to announce new services targeted at individual wine collectors and enthusiasts. Specializing in inventory, databases, appraisals, cellar maintenance and organization, Cellar Advisors offers collectors a complete range of custom services designed to keep collections orderly and efficient. These services are being offered after noting the most common concerns and headaches of wine collectors. While specialty services exist for the organization of closets, garages, kitchens and gardents, the wine cellar has been a largely neglected element t of the modern lifestyle.

Marc LaZar, proprietor of Cellar Advisors notes, We should think of wine as a living thing, evolving, growing and eventually becoming dried out or tired. By keeping a cellar well organized, I can help clients maximize enjoyment from their investment, and assist them in knowing when a given wine is at its peak." LaZar continues, We have focused on the issues of most common concern, such as providing accurate appraisals for insurance and estate purposes, helping clients move wine or sell at auction, and keeping their purchases displayed in an orderly and easily approachable fashion." Weve noticed the East and West Coasts have a few similar specialists, although a large slice of the wine collecting market lives in the middle two thirds of the country!"

Services are completely custom and flexible, with the individual needs of each client taken into account. Many people may have a neatly constructed display cellar, while they have years of paper invoices and tasting notes stacked up, which can be consolidated into a computerized, searchable database. Several clients like knowing that they can buy wines, store the boxes as they arrive and that when space grows tight, Cellar Advisors can unpack the bottles and integrate them into a preexisting cellar organization plan or create one from the ground up. For those who travel often to purchase wine, Cellar Advisors can host a clients inventory online at a secure website or transmit the information to a PDA or even a cellular telephone.

Mr. LaZar and his team have many years of experience in the retail, restaurant and auction sectors of the wine business and LaZar holds a certification from the Court of Master Sommeliers. The years spent on the sales side have given the team substantial contacts throughout the country. LaZar notes, Being based in Missouri is an interesting phenomenon. Many of my local clients do not realize that Missouri is a reciprocal state, meaning that we can source wine from other such states and that shipping is legal and straightforward. For example, many of the largest markets for collectible wines are California, Illinois and New York, all states with which Missouri has reciprocity. Also, the Chicago auction community is only a short drive away, and buyers commissions are waived or much lower than at the auction houses on the coast!" Further, Missouri and many other states, prohibit retailers from purchasing wine from the public, so there is no local venue for liquidating whole or partial collections, an issue that often arises if wine is part of a large estate.

The unique and innovative services offered go beyond physical collections also, with clients asking Cellar Advisors to construct theme dinners based around specific wines, blind tasting seminars and instructional courses on a variety of general and very specific wine subjects. While New York has been home to elaborate high-end tastings for years, only now can any theme imaginable be conducted in the Midwest, even in a clients home or office.

As with most personal services, Cellar Advisors pricing varies widely from job to job. LaZar encourages inquires and provides consultation and estimates free of charge.
