What’s New Version 1.31
This version is a minor update that updates the sign-in process to be clearer for new users.
Description
Finally! There is an app that can let you learn wine tasting with your friends and family while playing a fun, social, educational game together. Each wine tasting game on Somm Says is created by real, practicing Sommeliers or Winemakers.
Pick a wine, and challenge your friends to see who can guess what the Somm Says about a wine's aroma, body, acidity, tannins, oak, sugar, and flavor. Each round provides instant feedback by comparing your answer to the Sommelier's or Winemaker's own tasting note.
Somm Says is a fun, free way to learn about wine from real wine professionals.
With more than 1,400 wine tasting games from 200+ wine professionals, you can have fun with your friends while learning how your palate compares to both your friends and real wine professionals.
With Somm Says, you can connect with your local sommeliers and request personal recommendations based on your own unique preferences.
You can:
- Play a digital wine tasting game with your friends to learn wine tasting and improve your wine tasting skill
- Add friends and keep up to date on all your friend's favorite wines
- Request and receive a recommendation from a real sommelier
- Follow your favorite wine shop, sommelier, and wine producer to get notified about new wines
