Restaurant Wine Advisory

A well-designed wine program strengthens both the guest experience and the restaurant's identity.

We work with restaurants to deliver:

• Tailored wine pairings aligned with your cuisine

• Wine list curation and optimisation

• Sourcing wines that balance quality, price, and availability

• Support for storytelling, service flow, and consistency

Our restaurant wine consulting focuses on clarity, coherence, and long-term sustainability.

Personal Wine Advisory Services

For private clients, wine decisions are often linked to meaningful moments: celebrations, gifts, and gatherings.

We support private individuals with:

• Selecting and sourcing wines for specific occasions

• Building and refining private wine cellars

• Objective second opinions on wine purchases

• Translating critic scores and auction hype into practical guidance

Our private wine consulting is structured, unbiased, and shaped by long-term thinking.

Wine auctions can offer access to exceptional bottles, but also carry significant risk.

Grand Cru Select provides wine auction consulting informed by hands-on buying experience, including:

• Pre-auction evaluation of specific lots

• Advice on pricing, provenance, format, and drinking windows

• Identification of under-appreciated or over-valued wines

• Guidance on when not to bid

We offer independent auction advice, unaffiliated with any auction house.
