Opportunity

92% of wine drinkers would like to know more about their taste and are willing to pay a premium for a personalized selection.

Tied house laws have led most personalized wine clubs to work from one parent winery. There is little transparency about where the wine comes from or how it matches the customer’s taste.

Solution

Machine Learning + Blind Tasting = Personalized Wine Experience

Palate Club is an app and e-commerce platform that uses wine expert insight and machine learning to personalize a global wine selection to your wine taste.

Founded in 2017 by entrepreneur Nicolas Mendiharat, the company uses blind tasting to analyze your personal wine ratings. Customers get artisan, hard-to-find wines matched to their taste profile.

The unique experience disrupts the wine industry by empowering each customer to drink what they love and discover new wine.
