Advisory and cellar consulting
Master Sommeliers can do things a wine shop cannot. We work directly with a small number of clients on cellars, allocated bottles, private tastings, and corporate gifting at scale.
Cellar Consulting
Build (or right-size) a private cellar. From a 50-bottle starter cellar to a 1,500-bottle collection. Brett works with you on inventory, drinking windows, replenishment.
Allocated
Sourcing rare and allocated bottles. For collectors looking for hard-to-source Burgundy, Champagne, Piedmont, Napa, and library wines.
From 12 bottles
Corporate gifting & concierge. Client gifts, holiday allocations, executive cellars.
Tell us a little about what you are looking for and we will be in touch within 2 business days.
Cellar consulting
A small number of clients work directly with Brett on building cellars, sourcing rare bottles, and designing tastings.
Cellar consulting at Boulder Wine Merchant is not a productized service with tiers and feature lists. It is a working relationship between Brett and a small number of clients who have made the decision to take their cellar seriously.
Curated cases
Twelve bottles that belong together. Pre-built cases for entry-level Burgundy, the Italian table, holiday gifting, and starter cellars.
Building a thoughtful case is where customers most often ask for help. Each is balanced for variety and priced with our case discount: 15% off any 12 or more bottles of wine, any size, mix and match.
Gifting
A bottle chosen for the person it is going to: birthdays, thank-yous, sympathy, celebrations and company gifts. Chosen at the shop and collected at 2690 Broadway.
A gift bottle should feel chosen, not grabbed. Tell us the recipient, the budget and the message, and we will help you pick something that suits them.
Birthdays. A bottle from the year, or simply the best thing at your budget.
Thank-yous. For a favour, a referral or a kindness, one good bottle with a handwritten card says it plainly.
Sympathy. Quiet, unshowy and collected without fuss. Ask at the counter and we will keep it simple.
Celebrations. A new house, a new job, an engagement, an anniversary. Champagne is not the only answer, but it is a good one.
Companies and teams. For an office opening, a team celebration or a client evening, tell us how many people and what the occasion is. If you would rather taste with the shop first, see private tastings.

Build your own
Choose the bottles with the shop, to your budget and your recipient.
Add to any package
The shop also sells gift sets and charcuterie, which can be added to a gift.
Every gift is collected at the shop, 2690 Broadway, Boulder.
The person collecting must show valid photo ID proving they are 21 or older.
For larger company gifting, see also corporate gifts.
Corporate gifts
Client gifts, holiday allocations, executive cellars.
We work with Boulder-area firms (and beyond) on holiday gifting, client onboarding gifts, board appreciation, and executive cellar fills. We package: wax-sealed, gold-leaf, hand-tied, depending on the look you want. From 12 bottles up to several hundred.
Storage and provenance
Why wine that arrives at our shop in cold-chain condition costs more than wine that doesn't, and stays drinkable for decades longer.
The wine in our cellar is the same wine you can buy in some grocery stores. The wine you receive from us is not. The difference is provenance: how the wine got from the producer's cellar in France or Italy or Germany to our shelves in Boulder.
Private tastings
A guided tasting in your home, the shop, or a private dining room.
A typical private tasting runs 6-8 wines over two hours, with Brett walking the room through each pour: what it is, where it is from, why we are pouring it, and how to taste it.
Tell us what you have in mind and Brett will be in touch within 2 business days with ideas and pricing.
