Cellar Stocking Service

Stocking Your Wine Cellar

Pantheon Wine Cellar Services naturally offers expert personalized stocking advice. It is a common and expensive mistake to simply fill the cellar with name brand wines at the cheapest prices. A mismatch between your needs and your inventory frequently means drinking wines with the wrong foods or at the wrong time. In addition, people’s tastes change over time, which can lead to boredom with their old favorites and result in cases of undesired or wasted inventory.

We can help prevent such errors by carefully analyzing your current lifestyle, taste preferences and consumption patterns. Based on that insight, we can forecast your long term needs and wants quite accurately. Convenient half bottles, large format bottles from milestone years, and multiple wood case lots may be brought into consideration.

But the real advantage is our market savvy. Since the quality of vintages varies and market prices can fluctuate independent of quality, we can save you significant money by timing your purchases properly. Hence our wisdom: it’s not the lowest price, but the best choice that determines your happiness in the end.

Welcome & Cheers!

Johnson Ho

My name is Johnson Ho. For over 50 years I have traveled more than one million miles around the world to learn the art of fine living with class and culture. My knowledge-driven Chinese upbringing, prestigious German schooling and American scientific education have provided me with the gravitas for a superb appreciation of the epicurean arts. By “standing on the shoulders of the giants of history”, my understanding of nature, nurture and harmony distinguishes my expertise. I dispell wine myths constantly, and provide culturally rich and relevant perspectives to my clients’ wine enlightenment.

Over 30 years ago, I observed how American consumers had to struggle when looking for optimal wine selections in typical liquor stores that lacked real expertise. That inspired me to pioneer many helpful concepts for fine wine retailing. Numerous top publications have featured my innovative techniques since 1978. When I conceived and launched Pantheon Wine Shoppe in 2006, I set the stage for another new genre of wine merchandising: a world class wine selection enhanced by private personal tutorials for serious oenophiles. This personalized approach has proven to be incredibly successful. The brightest and most successful professionals in greater Chicago quickly embraced Pantheon as their favorite wine oasis. It has quickly grown into a quality leader in the market.

For the many wine lovers unable to frequent our shop, we have started recording a series of our wine tasting sessions. They are just like the convivial rendez-vous that top business executives, wealthy socialites and passionate connoisseurs have enjoyed in our salon for years. If you want to add class, culture and confidence to your wine appreciation, our serendipitous wine tasting kits will assist you in identifying your personal preferences. From proper pronunciation to serving advice, our comprehensive programs enlighten, enrich and empower your wine appreciation with cultivated panache. My fascinating insights and often hilarious anecdotes turn each session into true infotainment. Market Watch Magazine recognized this by naming me “The Windy City’s Wizard of Wine” in 2000.

Now you, too, can stand on the shoulders of the giants to explore L’Art de Vivre, the art of fine living, enhanced by La Joie du Vin, the joy of wine.

Come for a taste and leave with a joyous peace of mind.
