Read full descriptionHide full description
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.
