Ask a winemaker anything about wine.
The leading wine chat interface powered by SI*. Every answer is typed by a real wine pro and signed with their name.
Opens Wednesday, Nov 25 at noon Pacific. Closes noon on Thanksgiving.
Why we're doing this
Wine has a reputation for being complicated and a little snobby. The people who make it and pour it are neither. They're generous, they're nerdy, and they'll happily tell you what to open with the turkey.
Meanwhile, everything online is turning into a chatbot. So we built one and put a real person behind every answer.
For 24 hours over Thanksgiving, anyone can ask anything about wine and get an answer from a winemaker, a sommelier or a wine director, with their name on it. No dumb questions. No AI. Just people who love wine helping people who want to enjoy it.
Wine is better with a human in it.
