About

Staring at a wine list. Standing in the grocery aisle. You have thirty seconds to decide. Call.

Features

At the restaurant

The sommelier is hovering. The list is forty pages. You don't want to look clueless and you don't want to overspend. Step away, call the hotline, describe what you're eating and what you want to spend. Get a specific recommendation — "ask for the Côtes du Rhône on page 3" — and return to the table confident.

At the store

Two hundred bottles. No help in sight. You're making salmon, or it's a Tuesday, or you just want something good. Tell the hotline what you're looking for, what you're spending, and where you are — it'll guide you to something on the shelf in front of you. "Row 3, bottom shelf, yellow label, $18."

Text a photo of the shelf. Get a pick from what's actually there.

Learn your palate

Call after you've tried something to say what you thought. The hotline learns what you actually enjoy — not what you're supposed to enjoy — and gets better over time. You'll build vocabulary for what you like, not to impress anyone, but to find more of what makes you happy.

Like sweet wines? Great. Hate oaky chardonnay? Noted. No judgment, ever.
