Discernment: We know world-class wine.

Each wine featured at SommSelect is hand-picked through a rigorous, team-centered tasting approach led by our sommeliers. On average, only 5% of the wines we taste end up in our selections. And if there’s ever any doubt about choosing a bottle we ask ourselves one simple question: would we bring this to a friend’s house for dinner? We treat our customers like our friends, and every bottle we sell is a wine we are unequivocally enthusiastic about sharing.

Accessibility: Sharing the sommelier experience.

The job of a great sommelier is to help people choose wines they’ll love, and maybe share an insight or two along the way. SommSelect gives customers access to world-class sommeliers and our favorite bottles. We source wine that has a story to tell: who is making your wine, where does it come from, and why do we think it’s worth sharing? We want our customers to have the opportunity to experience new regions, producers and varieties, and ultimately understand what they like and why — from the comfort of their home.

Discovery: The good stuff is worth going the distance.

Traveling allows us to meet some of the most interesting and innovative winemakers in the world and bring their wine to your doorstep. We believe the foundation of an empowered relationship with wine is through learning more about it. That’s why we share stories and not just bottles. We could just tell you what to drink, but we’d rather help broaden your knowledge so you can make well-informed decisions specific to your own personal palate.

Value: Exceptional wine within reach.

We search the world for wines of outstanding value. You can rest assured that regardless of price—be it $20 or $200—the bottle in your hands will over-deliver in its category. In terms of cost to quality, we’re in the top 1% of online wine retailers, and that’s where we plan to stay. We want everyone to feel that they can enjoy exciting, delicious wines within their budget, and our selections reflect that mission.

Inclusivity: It’s about more than just wine.

At SommSelect, we prioritize inclusivity and diversity not just in the wines we sell, but the people we hire and do business with. That also extends to our customers: we want you to feel that SommSelect is a welcoming and intuitive place to purchase wine, regardless of your knowledge, background, or experience. Everyone deserves to feel welcome in the world of wine, and we are working tirelessly to make our company—and our industry—the most equitable it can be. Read more about our commitments.
