Feature
●BLIND TASTING BOARD GAME - Sommify is a wine tasting board game for everyone. Players take turns guessing mystery wines in a blind tasting party game. Enjoy game night, and accidentally learn how to taste like a sommelier. No wine knowledge needed! Sommify is perfect for game night- just bring a bottle and surround yourself with good folks who enjoy wine while learning a thing or two. That’s what game night is all about anyway, isn’t it? We think it should be the same with wine tasting.
●TRANSFORM GAME NIGHT - Created by Somms for the rest of us, Sommify turns stuffy wine tasting into afun game night. Players bring their own “mystery wines” and take turns guessing the grape and origin of what they taste. Novices often win, so sip your cheap Pinot freely and still show off your sophistication. Sommify turns methods from the Somm exam into an easy board game experience. Don’t care about becoming a Somm? No worries, you get to taste a ton of wine! Responsibly, of course.
●CREATED BY SOMMELIERS - The Sommify board game breaks down the intimidation factor - no pretentious or stuffy crowds! They just want to teach you how to blind taste wine while having fun. Sommify is built on the idea that anyone should be able to enjoy wine. Sommify’s creators built the game as a way to make studying for the Somm exam fun. The result was Sommify, a way to make wine tasting less overwhelming and more of a game night experience.
●WHATS IN THE BOX: Sommify comes with 1 Sommify Board, 27 Bottle Shock Cards, 6 Sommify Wine Keys, 6 Dry-Erase Markers, 1 Rulebook, 6 pawns, and 2 Dice. Each player needs to bring a bottle of their favorite wine from a list of approved wines from the Sommify Instruction booklet. Malbec? Pinot? Chardonnay? Something you still can’t pronounce? Don’t worry- you can easily find them at your local wine shop. Remember to keep your choice concealed!

Created by Somms
Married duo Conner and Jessica Taylor created this experience as a way to study for the Sommelier (Level 2) exam. The traditional method of studying for blind tasting is joining tasting groups. Stuffy! Why couldnt a tasting group be more like a boozy game night?
These two started prototyping weekly with friends. It worked well enough for Conner to pass his Somm exam as well as the WSET III.
Sommify uses the same classic wines used in the blind tasting portions of these exams.
When you use the Sommify Method, youre accidentally studying for the Somm Exam!
