Who we are

Cépage Curated is a premier wine consulting and cellar management firm led by seasoned sommelier and wine expert Andy Sjolander. We are dedicated to transforming wine collections and experiences into intentional works of art. Rooted in the philosophy of cépage — the precise composition and balance that defines a wine — our approach blends knowledge, strategy, and sensory storytelling to elevate every bottle, cellar, and occasion.

Born and raised in Detroit, Andy built his career across some of the most dynamic hospitality markets in the country, sharing his expertise in Chicago, Las Vegas, St. Thomas, USVI, and Richmond, Virginia. Certified as a Level II Sommelier by the Court of Master Sommeliers in 2009, Andy brings more than 25 years of hospitality and wine leadership to Cépage Curated, with a specialization in Old World wines and classical European regions.

We specialize in comprehensive cellar management and consultation, offering estate and collection evaluations, inventory organization, valuation guidance, and long-term acquisition planning. From private collectors to hospitality venues, we bring structure, sophistication, and clarity to wine programs of every scale.

Cépage Curated also designs exceptional wine experiences for private dinners, weddings, charity events, and galas, providing immersive presentations, curated tasting menus, and seamless wine service. Each engagement is thoughtfully tailored through refined pairing strategy, menu collaboration, and budget-conscious planning.

Our services extend to cellar planning and design, helping clients conceptualize spaces that reflect both beauty and function. Whether building a new cellar or refining an existing collection, Cépage Curated ensures every detail supports the integrity and longevity of the wine.

At its core, Cépage Curated exists to guide clients through the art and science of wine — creating harmony between collection and culture, celebration and craftsmanship, precision and pleasure.
