Ever watched SOMM and wondered, “What are they drinking?”
The documentary isn’t just about exams and stress—it’s a love letter to wine. Intense blind tastings, whispered vintages, legendary bottles… and yes, lots of Burgundy.
Let’s uncork a few stars from the film:
🥂 Burgundy (France)
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from names like Meursault and Chambertin. Elegant, earthy, unforgettable.
🍷 Bordeaux (France)
Big reds like Château Margaux and Latour. Power, structure, age-worthiness.
🌸 Riesling (Germany)
Sweet or dry, these wines are sharp, aromatic, and hard to guess blind. Think Mosel magic.
🌞 California (USA)
Napa Cabs, Sonoma Pinots—fruit-forward, bold, unmistakable.
Why does it matter?
These aren’t just wines—they’re clues in a game of palate detective. Every swirl, sniff, and sip tells a story. And SOMM shows just how hard it is to get that story right.
