Remember Every Wine Worth Remembering
How many times have you tasted a wine you loved, told yourself you’d remember it, and then completely forgotten the name by the next week? It happens to everyone.
Sommo’s wine journal fixes this. Every wine you scan and rate gets recorded with the date, your rating, your notes, and the full wine profile. Months later, when someone asks “What was that great Barolo you had at dinner?”, you have the answer.
Designed for Honest Reactions
Most wine apps ask you to rate on a 100-point scale or assign decimal scores. That works for critics. For the rest of us, it creates anxiety. Was it an 87 or an 89? Does it matter?
Sommo’s three-tier system cuts through the noise:
- Not For Me — You tried it, you didn’t love it. Useful data for understanding your palate.
- Solid Choice — A good wine you’d happily drink again. Reliable.
- Would Buy Again — This one made an impression. Worth seeking out.
Your honest reaction matters more than a precise number. Over time, the pattern of your ratings reveals more about your taste than any score ever could.
Two Ways to Journal
Quick Entry
Scan a wine, pick your rating, write a sentence or two about the experience. Done in 30 seconds. Perfect for casual tastings, dinners out, or when you just want a quick record.
Advanced Entry
For wines that deserve more attention, switch to Advanced Entry and open the SAT Tasting Note Wizard. Walk through appearance, nose, palate, and conclusions using the same framework professionals use. Get AI feedback on your observations and an alignment score showing how closely you matched the wine’s known profile.
Both entry types feed into the same journal. Mix and match based on the moment.
Your Journal Powers Everything
The journal isn’t just a record. It’s the engine behind Sommo’s most powerful features.
Wine Character Analysis reads your journal entries to build a unique personality profile of your wine preferences. The more you journal, the richer and more accurate this becomes.
The World Wine Map uses your journal to track which regions you’ve explored. Scan a wine from Mendoza and the region lights up on your map.
Learning modules award XP for journal entries, contributing to your level progression from Curious Sipper to Master Sommelier.
Every entry you write makes Sommo smarter about your taste and more useful as your wine companion.
