So much wine...

What if you had access to the only spreadsheet you will ever need to properly and thoroughly inventory your wine collection?

Having been sent dozens of inventory sheets missing pertinent information, which has led to speculation and a ton of time wasted on trying to determine what bottles were meant to be entered, I decided to create and share the only spreadsheet you will ever need to inventory your wine collection. You never know when you will actually need a completed inventory sheet, and unfortunately I’ve witnessed too many instances where it is too late to create one. Death, natural disasters, divorce, relocation, and theft are the most common reasons that you would need an accurate inventory. Imagine, a pipe bursts and the labels on your wines make them unreadable. Or an earthquake hits and the bottles are in a pile on the ground, broken glass and wine soaked labels. You have to move, the wine is packed, but you have no idea what is in each box, or if a case goes missing and you have no proof it ever existed, or even when the last time you saw it was. You've finally decided to get insurance, but are not sure what information needs to be recorded. This spreadsheet insures all involved that every important detail is entered, and will serve as a record that can constantly be updated

What would it cost to have someone else do this?

Your time is valuable, but if you hire someone else to catalogue your wine collection you need to be prepared to pay what they are worth (or else be prepared to pay for the service twice).

  • 500 lines of inventory...

    $4166

    A wine collection with 500 lines of inventory, would cost approximately $4166 to have a wine professional do the work for you ~2 min/line. That would be the equivalent of a 6-pack of 2018 Haut Brion in OWC, a 3-pack of 2010 (100pt) Latour in OWC, a 3L of 1999 Lafite, or a bottle of 1978 DRC Richebourg!

Personal Sommeliers can cost anywhere from $75/hour to $300/hour (remember, you get what you pay for and need to thoroughly vet whomever you decide to let into your cellar).

  • Where do I start?

    You need to be methodical in this. Going column by column and section by section is the best way to see what you have and organize as you go.

  • How can this help me organize my collection?

    Once everything is entered, you can organize the columns by style, varietal, producer, region, and vintage, and lay out your cellar based on that information, or you can upload it to Cellar Tracker and print out a Restaurant Style Wine List that will allow you to fine tune your organization.

Wait, by offering this aren’t you making yourself obsolete?

Fortunately, no.

There are a ton of collectors that do not have the time to inventory their own collections, or their time is more valuable than what they can afford to pay me. I also do a lot of desktop appraisals that are on limited timelines and require quick turnarounds, so I can work on those anywhere that I can access wifi. And when I’m not in a cellar, or in front of a computer, I am being booked for speaking engagements or educational seminars.
I'm Ready

I’m super overwhelmed just thinking about doing the inventory.

I get it. Seriously.

As much as I love what I do, and I truly do, almost every single collection has something that has me questioning my career choice. But, you get to learn from me. Someone that has tens of millions of dollars of wine under management. Someone that has been in the most beautiful, expertly designed and filled cellars, to ones built into hillsides, chaotically filled with cardboard boxes containing 12 different wines, and more signs of rodents than anyone would care to be confronted with. This spreadsheet is the launching point for you to get started. It is the biggest tool you can use to do this work on your own. I also offer a Master Class on wine collecting where we will walk through every aspect of starting and owning a wine collection. You will be empowered and informed, and able to do the work on your own. And, worst case scenario, if it’s more than you can take on, I, or a member of my team can step in and take over.
