## What is Palate?

The wine list arrives. Forty bottles, prices on the right, and nothing tells you which of them you'd actually enjoy.

Palate does. Photograph the list and it ranks every bottle against your own taste, built from the wines you've already had.

RESTAURANT SOMMELIER
Point your camera at a wine list or a bottle. Palate reads it, checks each wine against a catalog of over 100,000, and shows your best pick, your best value, and the bottles to skip. Take up to three photos for a list that runs over a page. Every pick explains itself in plain English: "Like the Lynch-Bages you loved, but cooler and leafier."

HOME SOMMELIER
No list in front of you? Describe the evening. "Steak night with my parents, something like the Bordeaux I loved, under $70." Palate suggests three bottles: one closest to your taste, one easy any-night bottle, and one worth a stretch.

A PALATE THAT'S YOURS
Rate the wines you drink and tag what stood out: structured, crisp, earthy, fruit-forward. Or just tell Palate out loud what you like. Your taste profile sharpens with every bottle, and Palate describes it back to you in plain English.

HONEST MATCHES
Palate never pretends to be surer than it is. Match scores stay conservative until you've logged enough wines to back them up, and a wine it can't place gets a plain-language read instead of a made-up number. If you've already had a wine, Palate shows what you thought of it.

A JOURNAL WORTH KEEPING
Every bottle, remembered: who you were with, what you ate, what you thought. Save wines to try later, and Palate flags them when they turn up on a list.

PRICING
Logging wines, your taste profile, and Home sommelier are free and unlimited. Your first 10 photo scans are free; unlimited scanning is $5 a month, cancel anytime.

Palate is for adults of legal drinking age. Please drink responsibly.
