If you’ve had more than one bottle of wine in your life, chances are you’ve consumed it while eating. Maybe it was planned or maybe it was an afterthought or maybe it never even occurred to you, but that moment when you pair food and wine together can be absolutely magical or it can be downright awful. That’s where we have a problem. For most of us, drinking wine is as simple as grabbing a bottle off the shelf and consuming it with whatever’s on the plate tonight. It doesn’t immediately sound like an issue and that’s the challenge. We’re missing out on so much more.

If we slow down and take the time to consider our food and wine pairings we can instantly elevate our experience from everyday to elite. The perfect wine with the perfect meal at the perfect moment is pure magic. That’s why we’ve built Grape Base. We help you find those moments in time where everything aligns. What if every time you opened a bottle of wine was a complete tasting experience? What if tonight’s steak on the back porch suddenly became an exclusive wine tasting event at the three star joint in the city? Okay, so we’re not promising you a personal somm that actually shows up at your house, but we are saying we can help you create that experience wherever you are.

We believe pairing food and wine is that important and that it can absolutely elevate any meal. Grape Base is your personal food and wine pairing assistant. We use data collected from years of research to suggest the top wines to pair with the food you’re eating or the moment you’re enjoying.
