Almost fooled !!! March 25, 2004
5 out of 8 found this review helpful

I tested The Perfect Sommelier with friends and at first we thought this gadget actually worked. After testing it some more, we realized that what "worked" was leaving a wine bottle open during 30 minutes before drinking it. After researching this further on the net, we found out that there is a natural process called oxydation which works on wines and makes them age super fast once you open the bottle. Regarding the Perfect Sommelier, we could NOT witness any improvements with its use. So, my advice would be to air out your bottles of wine before drinking them and to save yourself some money on this one.

I CAN'T BELIEVE A $10 BOTTLE OF WINE COULD TASTE LIKE $50!!! January 6, 2004
5 out of 8 found this review helpful

I received this as a gift for Christmas from a friend of mine who LOOOOVVVVEEEESSS Wine. I was very disappointed to receive this as my gift!!! BUT, OH MY GOODNESS, IT IS BETTER THAN DIAMONDS. Believe it or not, this thing reallllly works. It's so simple--open the bottle, put it on the base and put the top in the bottle--wait 30 minutes and BINGO. It's like magic. I'm telling you from a person who is the most skeptical women in the world--get this little hidden gem and you'll see what I mean.

WOW it really does work December 15, 2003

I just got my Sommelier and I didn't really think it could work, but since Amazon has a great return policy, I tried it.
WOW after 30 minutes it was like a totally different wine. I tried the sommelier on a 1998 BV Cabernet Reserve which normally is pretty good, but after I opened the wine and set it on the base and put the top on it for 30 minutes WOW, it was Fruitier on the tongue, it had a nose that just came flowing out of the glass and the finish was oh so smooth. I thought my wife had poured me a glass of Merlot, right out of the CAB bottle.
Thumbs up on this product you have a winner!!!!!!!!!!

Buy a decanter instead November 5, 2003
11 out of 14 found this review helpful

I am a chef and Sommelier in NYC where every gadget comes down the pike as either a gimmick or a time saver. This product was disappointing at best. I bought a tannic California Cab as a test and after a half an hour (in a Riedel Glass), there was next to no difference in the strident and pronounced chalkiness of the tannins. After an hour, the wine lost some of the vanilla characteristics of the oak, but maybe that was an "Emperor's New Clothes" phenomenon because I really wanted this to work. I returned it (Amazon still has the best customer service) for a newer decanter.

Do Not Drink Wine Without This! April 22, 2003
13 out of 15 found this review helpful

Since receiving the Perfect Sommelier as a gift, I have used it on Chardonnays, Chantis, Cabernets and even Port. It has never let me down! As a game we've done the "30 minute taste test" to see how well it rounds out the flavors with friends and they have always tasted a remarkable improvement.

I highly recommend this product. Do Not Drink Any Wine Without It!
