Somello is the sommelier in your pocket. Photograph the food menu and the wine list at any restaurant, tap the dishes you're ordering, and Somello suggests the best-matched options from that restaurant's own list, so you can pick one glass or bottle with confidence. HOW IT WORKS • Snap: photograph the menus, straight from your table. Multiple pages welcome, and you can add anything the photo missed by hand. • Pick: tap what your table is ordering. • Pour: get confident pairings with plain-language reasons, prices as printed, and a rating for each match. MAKE IT YOURS • Tell Somello your taste: the wine styles you drink, and a note for the sommelier ("love Riesling, no oaky chardonnay"). • Set a wine budget. Only bottles in your price range are considered. • Keep a history of every pairing, with the wines you chose. Your first pairings each month are free. An optional subscription gives you more, with a fair-use limit. Pairings are AI-generated guidance. Trust your own taste, and please drink responsibly. For adults of legal drinking age.
