San Francisco, CA, January 23, 2008 -
San Francisco, CA, January 22, 2008. Vinfolio, a premier online wine retailer and collector services company, announces the launch of its Personal cellar manager service giving wine collectors access to a dedicated wine expert to design, manage, maintain, and grow their collections. The service, a first of its kind, is a natural extension to Vinfolio's expansive offerings for wine collectors including buying and selling, full service storage, and inventory. All of Vinfolio services are seamlessly integrated with VinCellar, its free online cellar management application.
"Managing a large collection requires continuous effort," says Vinfolio founder and CEO Stephen Bachmann. "Once collectors see the value Vinfolio brings in organizing their collection, they want to know how to tap into that expertise on an ongoing basis." In addition to the growth of its online wine store, Vinfolio's inventory service tripled from 2006 to 2007 as many large collectors looked to Vinfolio to catalog, organize and manage their collection with VinCellar.
"Vinfolio's services have been instrumental in helping me tame a multi-thousand bottle collection, "said Vinfolio customer, Bill Shea. "But it still takes work to manage and having a wine expert on hand for four days a month saves me valuable time and helps me make smart drinking and buying decisions."
With a one-to-one relationship, Personal cellar managers work with collectors to develop a specific program based on their unique needs whether it be buying, selling, organization or entertainment. Pricing is based on a set number of days per month. Currently the program is offered nationwide.
