Founder Jess Lehman, CPA, spent over fifteen years in capital markets, financial advisory, and audit — a career built around one question: is this asset accurately valued, properly documented, and defensible under scrutiny? He asked it on behalf of companies going public, boards overseeing complex holdings, and auditors testing what was really there. The answer always came down to the same things: rigorous valuation, clean records, and proof.
But long before the boardrooms, there was the wine. Jess is a collector first — someone who plans trips around tasting rooms, tracks down allocations, and even got married at a winery. VaultSomm was born where those two worlds meet: the realization that the collections we love are also assets most of us can't answer basic questions about.
What is it worth today?
How is it documented for insurance?
What happens to it in your estate plan?
VaultSomm brings that same discipline to wine collection management — real-time valuation, provenance documentation, insurance-ready reporting, and estate planning intelligence built for serious collectors, family offices, and wine funds.
