In turn, Vinfolio will make Cellarworks awarding winning cellar design services available to its clients of wine buyers and collectors.
Cellarworks' services do not stop at the design of a world-class cellar. Most customers continue a close relationship with Cellarworks to build and manage their collection. Among other
benefits, Cellarworks customers enjoy access to renowned sommelier Nathan Wooden of Per Se in New York for wine buying advice and sourcing. Partnering with Vinfolio will expand these
services by leveraging Vinfolio's access to collectible wines as well as its collector services including on-site inventorying. Additionally, Vinfolio will build a co-branded version of
VinCellar, Vinfolio's free web-based cellar management application, for Cellarworks' customers and provide Cellarworks with the ability to manage these accounts on behalf of their
clients.
