Testimonials
James Sterling
Owner, Sterling Steakhouse
"Elk completely revitalized our wine program. Our sales are up 30% this quarter, and our staff finally feels confident selling high-end bottles. Professional, knowledgeable, and indispensable."
Brayden
''Okay so honestly my dad used to be super stressed all the time but ever since he hired Elk Consulting his aura is insane. He has infinite rizz at dinner parties now. The cellar used to be mid, but now it’s actually skibidi. No cap, Elk is the GOAT.''
Kayla
"I don't know anything about grape juice but the vibes here are immaculate. Elk Consulting ate and left no crumbs. 10/10 would recommend if you want your parents to chill out."
Frequently Asked Questions
I have a cellar, but it is unorganized. Do you work with existing collections?
That is our specialty. We inventory, appraise, and reorganize your current stock. We also implement digital tracking systems so you always know exactly what you have and when it enters its peak drinking window.
What size events do you handle?
We tailor the experience to the room. We manage everything from intimate in-home pairing dinners for couples to large-scale corporate educational seminars and team-building tastings.
How quickly will my restaurant see results from your training?
Immediate confidence, long-term profit. Our training empowers staff to move beyond "red or white" and tell compelling stories about the wine. Most clients see an increase in check averages within the first month of our program.
Do you collaborate with our Executive Chef?
Yes. For hospitality clients and private dinners, we believe the food and wine must be in conversation. We work directly with your culinary team to taste dishes and select pairings that elevate the specific flavor profiles of the menu.
Can you help with corporate gifting?
Absolutely. We help businesses move beyond generic grocery store bottles. We curate thoughtful gifting lists that impress clients and partners, complete with tasting notes and provenance cards to add value to the gesture.
Do I need to have a high-tech cellar for you to manage my collection?
Not at all. While we can advise on building temperature-controlled spaces, we also help clients manage off-site storage or organize simple home setups. The goal is preserving the wine’s integrity, regardless of the facility's size.
