Testimonials

  • “Sommptuous Selections provides an exceptionally divine customized food and wine tasting/pairing experience. They were witty, helpful, knowledgeable, prompt, and patient. We have had the opportunity to work with Sommptuous Selections on various occasions and with our large group, I know that we must have tested their skills and patience a bit… Sommptuous always delivers a comprehensive wine tasting experience whether virtual or in-person. Their passion for wine gets me excited!!!! Can’t wait to work with them again.”

Impeccably friendly service! Stephen provided my wife and I with multiple pairing options and demonstrated great knowledge of the origins of each selection.

  • “What a fantastic experience!During the Pandemic, Somm Stephen hosted the most wonderful Zoom adventures for my friends and I. He sent a list of what we needed to purchase in advance so we could buy it at our local store. During our 3 session booking, he led us through 3 different wine regions, explaining what made each unique and the representative flavor profiles of each region. Priceless experience! I recommend you book an adventure or date night and enjoy a flight of wines selected especially for you!”

  • “Our experience with Sommptuous was nothing short of fantastic. As a couple of wine lovers, we were drawn to the tasting experience not only as drinkers but as curious tasters looking for extended education by an expert in the wine world. Stephen and Jordan made us feel a part of the journey in learning the intricacies of the wine selection. Not only were we able to walk away with an understanding of the variations of the wine, but Stephen's expansive knowledge was so comprehensive that we were able to learn more about the wine's journey. From the region, to the winery, to the history of the producers, what we learned went above and beyond expectation. Sommptuous wine education is top notch, and this team has successfully created an immersive virtual experience fit for newbies and wine fanatics.”

  • “My fiancé and I have absolutely loved all our experiences with Sommptuous Selections!! Stephen combines his practical knowledge of the real world of wine from multiple years of experience with a deep technical knowledge that leaves your mind blown. We have journeyed with him through wines from Australia, California and France and in those moments through the pandemic it felt like we were traveling, even though we were stuck in our living room. Stephen not only made wine more accessible to us but understandable, which is a feat! My fiancé and I have now started a wine collection of our own and are studying for a wine certification. This experience is perfect for a date night, a girls night, an intro before a wine trip or for the heck of it, cuz why not! Highly HIGHLY recommend, if you are interested in a fun, exploratory, not at all pretentious journey into wine!!!”
