Capitol Cellars
Marcus comes from a long history of wine-his grandparents migrated from Northern Italy bringing their grape-growing knowledge to Northern California, his parents continued that tradition and his brother expanded to making wine, as founder of Domaine St. Gregory, Monte Volpe and more recently Enotria Wineries. It was only natural for Marcus to do what he does…he knows wine from “the ground up.”
A UC Davis economics and international relations graduate, Marcus is passionate about wine and the service he provides for his clients. He loves wine and he loves people!
Capitol Cellars has supplied wines for many political events, corporations associations throughout the U.S. including The Sacramento Kings, Fox Broadcasting, Turner Broadcasting, Pacific Telesis, Motion Pictures Association, CBS, Paramount, Disney Corporation, Federal Express, Bozwell Sawyer Miller Group, Bristol-Meyers Squibb, Pfizer, Abbott Laboratories, California Manufacturers Association, Sierra Health Foundation, The Money Store… just to name a few.
But Capitol Cellars has been much more than a purveyor of wines. Marcus has provided numerous wine tasting and wine educational courses for his clients. Traveling to Phoenix for an airline officals’ golf tournament or to unknown destinations for Fox Broadcasting’s Super Bowl events, he has enlightened individuals to the joys of wine.
Capitol Cellars provides wine tastings from 15 to 250 guests and at any venue. Marcus once provided wines for the opening of the Turner Broadcasting premier of “Gettysburg” in Washington D.C. for over 1000 guests. When asked to select wines for the “US Senate Wives” dinner at the nations capitol, Marcus chose wines from women wine makers to honor the guests. When Prime Advisors asked Marcus to do something special for a small event they were hosting in Aspen, the tasting from 3 Liter bottles was the hit of the evening.
Understanding the needs of the client is paramount. With over 16 years of experience, Capitol Cellars provides the perfect wine to accompany any menu and the right amount needed.
