From collectible to cult wine, to the wine you bring out for special occasions, to the everyday staples, Curated Wines + Cellars is one of the latest services available on the East End to create a client’s dream wine cellar.
Duo Donna Paitchel and David Shuster founded Curated Wines + Cellars in 2020, servicing the tri-state area with a large focus on the Hamptons. The company was born out of the Covid-19 pandemic, after the two spent 30 years working together producing high-profile events.
“I am so excited to be launching our new business Curated Wines + Cellars. After more than 30 years producing amazing events around the world, many of which included fabulous wine components, this new venture is a natural segue for us,” said Paitchel.
The team had worked together on events including the Olympic Games, US Open, World Cup, and PGA Championship, to name a few. Their work brought them to wine regions across the globe from Bordeaux to Napa and beyond, expanding their vast knowledge on the subject.
The company builds client’s wine cellars with a blended collection of varietals from around the world — from untapped to premier regions.
By using a tracking software system they are able to create “a cellar that can be fully utilized by the client and it also give us the tools to analyze their consumption, continuing the process of tailoring the wine cellar,” shared Shuster.
“It’s kind of like one stop shopping for wine,” said Paitchel, as she explained how they wanted to make it easy for clients, so that they can simply enjoy the wine selection that has been curated for them.
“Having had a home in the Hamptons for more than 30 years, I understand the lifestyle and what people want in their homes and how they entertain,” said Paitchel. During the time of Covid-19, when many people are entertaining in their homes for small groups, they also make sure to have the go-to wine for every night, so that clients can always “experience the culture of wine.”
“I’m always looking for the next interesting thing out there,” said Paitchel of the types of wines they bring to their clients.
The team officially launched their digital space this spring, where visitors can discover ways to enhance their wine cellar.
