How It Works
For evaluate wines from distributor tastings and samples, the system draws on the relevant operational data and applies the appropriate analytical models. The analytics engine aggregates data across sources, applies statistical analysis to identify significant patterns and outliers, and presents the results through visualizations that highlight what needs attention. The output — background data — critic scores — surfaces in the existing workflow where the practitioner can review and act on it. Your palate is the final arbiter.
What Changes
Background research is instant. AI tells you this producer's recent vintages, the critic consensus, and the price trajectory — context that informs your palate evaluation.
What Stays
Your palate is the final arbiter. Whether the wine tastes good, fits your program, and represents value — no score or algorithm determines this. You taste, you decide.
