SommSelect review

SommSelect is the club for people who already know they like wine and want a sommelier to push them further. Its clubs run from The 3 Essential Whites at $99 and The 3 Essential Reds at $109 for 3 bottles, through The Explore 4 at $118 for four bottles, to The Somm 6 at $209 and The Somm 6 Reds at $235 for six. The Blind 6, at $225, sends six concealed bottles so you can train yourself to taste blind, and The Sparkling Voyager sends four sparkling bottles quarterly for $199. Shipments can be monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly depending on the club, and SommSelect notifies members before billing. Every club price adds 1% insurance and shipping, and free shipping only starts on orders over $375. Prepaid 3, 6 and 12-month clubs are sold for gifts. At about $29.50 to $39 a bottle it costs more than the other curated clubs here, so it suits enthusiasts more than casual drinkers.
