Ideas for more sophisticated wine study tools began fermenting in the wild and by accident around the winter of 2022.
2023
Our first prototypes emerged in 2023. Meanwhile, we began thinking about other extracurricular resources studying somms would find most helpful.
2024
While researching and iterating the products, we began putting together an online store.
2025
In the spring and early summer we began selling our Wine Rummy Intro Decks and first Puzzle Map, that of Côte de Nuits, Bourgogne.
2026
Expect the Wine Rummy Italy Decks in 2026 and the Grid Book 2026, among other fresh releases.

SommPuzzles has given me a social, hands-on way to learn about wine. The information that I learn while using SommPuzzle products seems to stick in my mind much more willingly than when reading similar information from a book.
