Questions, answered.

The Wine Line

What is The Wine Line?

The Wine Line is a bespoke service that offers a wine expert on call by text. Snap a photo of any restaurant list, any shop shelf, or any bottle in your cellar and get a personal recommendation in minutes, built on your own taste profile. $35/month or $350/year (two months free), available 9am to 9pm Eastern, every day.

Do I need to be a wine person to join?

Not at all. The Wine Line is built for anyone who wants wine demystified: ask questions, ask for recommendations, get the answers you need. And you may even become a wine person in the process.

Where is the membership available?

Anywhere in the United States.

Can I cancel the membership?

Though we don’t charge a cancellation fee, we would request that you try staying with us for a year prior to cancellation. This membership gets better the more you use it. If you’re thinking about canceling, give us the chance to give you more value first before you do.

Private Wine Events

How much does a private wine event cost?

One clear rate: $350 per hour, three-hour minimum.

Do you bring the wine?

No. I build a wine list around your menu, your guests, and your specific likes and dislikes. I point you to exactly what to buy and where, at the best price I’ve found.

Do you bring glassware or food?

No, but I can suggest vendors for both.

How large can the group be?

Any size. There is no guest cap.

How far in advance should I book?

Private events typically book six to ten weeks out, weddings four to six months. I am currently booking Summer 2026 to Spring 2027.

How do deposits and payment work?

A 50% deposit holds your date, with the balance due seven days before the event. I accept cash, Zelle, and Venmo.

What is your event cancellation policy?

More than 30 days out: full refund of your deposit. Within 30 days: your deposit becomes non-refundable. Weather and force-majeure cancellations always reschedule with no penalty.

Do you travel?

Yes. Travel within 120 miles of Riverhead, New York is included; beyond that, travel and lodging are billed at cost.
