The wine is
my department.

Alfred reads the list, finds the bottle that suits your dish and your budget, and tells you the story behind it — at the table, in your cellar, and everywhere in between.

JOIN THE WAITLIST

Alfred is currently receiving his first guests by invitation.

“

Good evening. I’m Alfred — your wine butler.

I have spent a lifetime in the quiet service of good taste. I read wine lists the way other people read the weather. I know which bottle flatters your dish, which one merely flatters the restaurant’s margin, and how to tell the two apart without making a scene about it.

You needn’t know a thing about wine to dine well. That is rather the point of having a butler.

— A.

HIS DUTIES

In service, wherever wine is poured.

At the table

Tell Alfred where you’re dining and what you’re eating. He finds the bottle that suits the dish and the occasion, tells you who made it and why that matters, and quietly flags when a price asks rather more than the wine deserves — and when a bottle is genuinely well priced.

In the cellar

Alfred keeps your bottles in order: what you own, what you paid, what it’s worth now, and when each bottle will be at its best. Ask him what to open tonight and he’ll consider what’s for dinner before he answers.

In the library

Wine, one story at a time. Alfred’s library holds the tales behind the bottles — the widow who built a champagne house, the vine plague that nearly ended European wine — along with maps of the great regions and a butler who will answer any question without a hint of a lecture.

May Alfred call on you?
