Our Collector Services
Sommelier Services
Megan McDonald (DipWSET) serves as our on-staff client care specialist and is a WSET accredited sommelier. Megan is available to Iron Gate’s clients for a variety of consultations, events and collector services. From how and where to grow your collection, to private wine tastings or testing your collection, we can help you get the most out of the world of fine wine.
Contact us to learn about our full range of services and their costs.
Thanks to Coravin wine sampling technology, our sommelier can come to your cellar and “access” a tiny sample of all the wine that you should be drinking in the coming year. They will taste and ensure the wine is in perfect condition, advise how long you should decant before serving and, if desired, provide a brief tasting note. Once complete, a small sticker is placed in the punt so you can pull the wine later knowing it’s in perfect condition for your guests.
Please contact us for more information or to book an appointment.
Our years of experience in fine wine storage make us uniquely well-suited to helping you create or elevate your home cellar. We’ve played a key consulting role in the design and maintenance of some of Canada’s most enviable home wine cellars, and are happy to help you find the right construction partner and make key decisions that are best suited to your collection and home.
You can find some trusted cellar builders on our Marketplace page.
