Somm Survival Kit: Great Values of Bordeaux

$12.00

AVAILABLE AUGUST 16 – OCTOBER 3, 2020

WINE TASTE BETTER WHEN YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT IT. That’s what the Somm Survival Kits are all about.

This kit: Six Bordeaux wine (two white, four red) that because of a combination of great vintages, awesome producers, and phenomenal importers, is a Somm Kit of amazing VALUE!

Each wine is from family-owned wineries. Each wine is from sustainably and organically farmed vineyards. And each wine has its own thing going on, which we cover in detail in the video.

The value of the Somm Kit: INSTANT access to tasting notes, cellar tags, food pairing ideas, articles, links, and a video of sommelier Jason Kallsen tasting through these six wines. Buying the wines through the Somm Kit is cheaper than going to the store and finding them yourself.

A $120 value. Only $12 to buy in (this pays for The Wine Workshop’s work on the project, and is made up through discounts on the wines selected — see here for more explanation), then $95.35 plus tax when you pick up the wines at North Loop Wine and Spirits (or have them delivered or shipped for a small charge).
