The Wine Concierge Difference
Personalized guidance for collectors who want access to exceptional wines without spending countless hours searching, comparing, and sorting through competing offers.
We believe every serious collector deserves someone on the inside — tasting broadly, comparing critically, and opening doors to the world’s most compelling wines.
A More Personal Way to Discover Wine
If you do not already have a Wine Concierge, you may be curious about the benefits. Porthos provides a portfolio of customized wine services for many of America’s most avid private collectors, helping clients discover, acquire, and enjoy wines that match their individual tastes and cellar priorities.
Rather than relying only on scores, labels, or market hype, our team evaluates thousands of collector-level wines each year and offers recommendations based on quality, provenance, scarcity, value, and personal fit.
Access, Advice & Adventures

Built Around Long-Term Client Relationships
For more than two decades, Porthos has served collectors who value discretion, access, and personal guidance. Our goal is not simply to sell wine, but to understand each client’s tastes well enough to make better, more useful recommendations over time.
Porthos has also been proud to provide wine concierge services for select members and partners including American Express, Flexjet, Sentient Jet, Andrew Harper, and other private collector communities.
Every Recommendation Is Earned
The Porthos team samples several thousand wines annually and features only a small percentage of the best discoveries for our clients. Each recommendation is considered carefully, with attention to quality, balance, typicity, provenance, and whether the wine offers a meaningful opportunity for collectors.
Many Napa winemakers and winery owners have also relied on Porthos recommendations as a benchmark while blending their own wines, a reflection of the seriousness and consistency of our tasting process.
