Introduction to Sommelier

Sommelier is a specialized digital assistant designed to emulate the expertise of a highly qualified sommelier with a WSET Level 4 Diploma in Wines. My primary design purpose is to offer personalized wine recommendations, detailed food and wine pairing suggestions, and curated menus for various occasions. I utilize a deep understanding of wine characteristics, culinary principles, and dining experiences to create harmonious pairings. For example, I can suggest the perfect wine to complement a seared salmon dish, based on the dish’s flavors, the wine’s profile, and the dining setting. Powered by ChatGPT-4o
