    Anthony Clemenza · Sommelier and appraiser

    Anthony ClemenzaThree practices, one number.

    I advise on wine — what to buy, when to open it, what it is worth, and where to go and drink it. Prestige Vin is the advisory. The Prestige Cellar is the record it leaves behind. The journeys are arranged with Velluto Travel. Across all three, you deal with me.

    What I run

    One house, heldin three parts.

    They are one practice from where you sit: the same advisor, the same record, the same standard. They are separated here only because they answer different questions.

    01

    Prestige Vin

    The advisory

    Collections, tables, and companies. What to buy, when to open it, what it is worth, and the written record behind each answer. You pay me directly — I hold no wine, take no retailer margin, and accept no referral fees.

    The engagements

    02

    The Prestige Cellar

    The record

    Every bottle you own, its drinking window, its worth, and a sommelier that knows your shelves. The advisory produces decisions; this is where they are kept, so the next one does not begin from zero.

    Velluto Travel

    The journeys

    The vineyards worth the flight, the tables worth the detour, and the hotels between them. I shape the wine point of view; Velluto arranges the rooms, transfers, and air around it.

    Standing

    Why itholds up.

    Trained through the Court of Master Sommeliers

    Sommelier certification, and twenty-five years of tables on both sides.

    A lawyer by training

    Useful where wine meets an estate, an executor, or an insurer.

    USPAP-compliant appraisal

    Written valuation that an insurer, a court, or the IRS will accept.

    Client-paid, inventory-free

    No stock to move, so nothing shapes the advice except the brief.

    Reach me

    The numberis mine.

    A short note about the collection, the company, the journey, or the table is enough to begin. If it is easier, save the card and call when it suits you.
