Wine, community and curiosity meet at eye level when Signe from SipSomm holds the first SIPtasting of the year on Thursday 19 March.
For this SIPtasting we taste delicious white wines and light red wines from exclusively female producers from Burgundy and Jura - haps!
The wine tasting takes place like a kind of wine school, where we review tasting technique, grape varieties and areas - all at eye level while we sipp and have a good time!
Come as you are and discover how wine can be fun, educational and down-to-earth!
**What is SIPtasting? **
SIPtastings are a series of intimate tastings with different themes — always narrated by female sommeliers and as a starting point with wines from female producers
🍷 5 delicious wines — carefully selected from female winemakers
👩🎓 A trained sommelier - who conveys the wine with passion and at eye level
📝 Paper and Pencil -- like a real wine school should be
💧 Water ad libitum - because... skyyyy
The cozy rooms have one long table and space for about 14 people, so the tasting is cozy and intimate.
WINE-CONVEYS IN A MODERN WAY
My name is Amalie, and I'm the one behind SipSomm — your go-to summerlier who not only shares understandable knowledge about wine on social media, I also put together carefully selected wines in wine boxes so you can make your own DIY wine tasting at home, and then I create personalized, different and anti-dry wine tastings for individuals and businesses without a single drop of wine snobbery. I want to share my professional expertise and love of wine in a way where everyone can participate; I call it 'wine at eye level'.
I am a trained sommelier from Nordic Sommerlier Academy and have since taken WSET Level 3 in London.
My interest in wine started all the way back from a child's feet, when I was very young I dipped my little finger in my father's red wine without much pleasure. Then I was introduced to various wineries when I went to Italy during the summer holidays.
I also grew up in restaurant, which my parents ran as an independent; the service profession is a great passion.
In the summer of 2021 work on a vineyard in Sicily and gained insight into everything from harvesting, winery and office. In the summer of 2023, I harvested a season at Champagne Deutz; it put sweat on my forehead and learning for life!
I have more experience with wine tastings through previous work in wine shops and have been Head Sommelier at one of Copenhagen's best restaurants, where wine tastings and wine distribution are daily.
Wine Experiences at Eye Level
Are you the type who is always lost when poking at the supermarket for wine and feeling like a wine imposter when slinging a wine of (to you) unknown origin around the glass to impress the father-in-law? Or do you actually know a little about the different grapes, but want to go a cru up into nerd-level?
I offer informal, educational and unsnobbish wine experiences where everyone can join — physically, online or as a DIY wine tasting box at home.
Here at SipSomm you can join no matter what type of wine you are! Get wine tips on Instagram, grab a delicious wine box on my webshop or book a wine tasting — online, in person, with a quiz, at a bachelor party, a night out with friends, at the Easter lunch, the company party...
