About Joe Mooney:

Joe has been immersed in all aspects of the wine industry, from harvesting grapes to consulting on cellar design.  He has worked retail sales, secondary market brokerage, and direct-to-consumer marketing. Joe has managed large scale bottle inventory for hundreds of collectors, appraising and curating hundreds of millions in collection value. He has taught classes and facilitated tastings for hundreds of early collectors just beginning their cellar journey.

Passion for the wine industry comes in so many varying forms and levels. Joe’s journey has taken him all over the world to experience the craft, art, and history of winemaking and enabled me to manage cellars across 16 different states. He has had the privilege of assisting collectors with design, curation, and management of what they want and need out of their private collection.

Joe is known for thinking outside of the box and hunting down the bottle you just can't get your hands on,  he loves connecting people to the story behind the wines they love most.
