The Twin Cities Wine Education Custom Somm Kit Shopping Service!
It's as easy as can be, and a FREE service for you!

Simply fill out the form below and sommelier Jason Kallsen will pick the best available wine gems in the categories and prices you ask for, creating a one-of-a-kind collection based on your wishes.

Twenty five years of professional sommelier experience, plus insider access to the best of the small and local wholesalers and importers will go into the independent selections.

And if you want to make a really special gift, for a small charge ($35) we will make a one-of-a-kind VIDEO of Jason describing the wines, CUSTOMIZED for the recipient. We will host the video privately on Vimeo, and add the link and a QR code to the box holding the wines.

The minimum wine order for this service (regardless if you get a video or not) is $150 (pre-tax), and collections can be two, three, four, or six bottles. Almost any topics of the wine world can be requested, be it by style, grape variety, location, or more. (If your request isn't possible, such as "6 Grand Cru Burgundies for $150," I'll let you know.)

Upon receiving your details, we will get to work. Your chosen wine shop (North Loop or Solo Vino) will contact you when the wines are ready for pickup or delivery (within 7 days of filling out the form; 48 hour rush service is available for a small fee). If you desire for the wine to be shipped, the wine shop can help with those arrangements.

OUR GUARANTEE: I will pick out the most interesting wines in the categories you desire, using our connections with top notch small importers and wholesalers to discover the gems that most wine consumers overlook or have little access to.

And don't forget: this is a FREE service for you! (Video add on and rush service are additional charges.)

LABEL ON THE BOX: What should the box say? Be exact ... what you type is EXACTLY what we will print. (Could be a To and From, could be a salutation, could simply be a name or title, i.e. "For the best Dad ever.")
Would you like to add a customized video of me stepping through the wines for $35? (I'll invoice you separately through PayPal for this service.) Note on the customized video: I'll be holding up and talking about EACH of the wines picked for the custom pack, PLUS addressing the recipient by name and reason for the gift. This will be hosted privately on Vimeo and I'll add the link and QR code to the box. It's pretty cool! *
If you answered 'yes' to the above, let me know who is getting the wines and why. Start with their full name (for the video link), then let me know how you want them addressed in the video. (Examples on format: "Tom Larson. Merry Christmas, Tom!"  "Linda and Jack Wilson. Congrats on the baby, Linda and Jack!"  "Terri Johnson. Thank you, Terri, for a job well done!".)

Pick a maximum price point for the whole package (note: this is a PRE-TAX price, with a $150 minimum order). Your chosen wine shop will reach out for payment on the wines. *
Tell me what you have in mind for the wines. Particular countries, regions, styles, age-worthiness. OR, just give me a basic direction i.e. "All California." Each grouping is FULLY customized to your wishes. Be as detailed as you wish, and if I have questions I'll reach out to you.  **NOTE: Requests for specific wine brands or vintages are a separate service. Email me if you're trying to find something hyper-specific.** *
Rush service! I need this within 48 hours! *
Some Fine Print:   1) Due to the customized nature of the selections and video production I understand there are no substitutions available on the wines. If no video is requested, I understand the purchase is for the wines only and no further information is included.   2) I agree to pay for my wines when contacted by the wine retailer, and pick up the wines in a timely manner or arrange for delivery or shipping.    3) I understand wines are sold to me at regular retail pricing with no discounted pricing and no extra mark-ups. *
