About Gina
Certified Sommelier & Wine Educator, San Francisco
About Gina
I'm a Certified Sommelier (Court of Master Sommeliers, 2022) and WSET Level 3 Distinction holder with a background in product management at Google. What started as teaching informal wine tastings for colleagues became dedicated study, harvest work in Bordeaux, and eventually Sommplicity.
Every tool on this site is powered by AI and shaped by a real palate. Every recommendation is tested, every data source vetted, every framework reviewed against the references the wine world agrees on. Technology powers the experience. A sommelier ensures it's trustworthy.
Wine is not meant to be mastered. It is meant to be experienced.
In a world that only grows busier, wine remains one of the purest products of the earth and invites us to slow down and be present.
