 The Perfect Sommelier, Chrome April 3, 2008
Anyone who says this doesn't work, doesn't know fine wine. You place a bottle on the sommelier for an hour. It magnetically ages the wine 1 yr.
 Not sure how it works but it does May 14, 2007
Recently I watched a product review on the Perfect Sommelier on the Today show. Since my husband and I have a bad wine habit, I thought well it is worth a try. The first bottle of wine I tried in the Sommelier was the $2.00 Trader Joe type and it didn't seem to change it much but then I tried a $6.00 wine and it really seemed to make it taste more like a $15.00 bottle. Like I said, I'm sure how it works but will continue to use the Sommelier.

A friend of mine recently purchased the Perfect Sommelier. I was highly skeptical, but he insisted that it worked, so I arranged a blind taste test.
We purchased two identical bottles of young red wine and opened them at the same time, tasting a glass from each to make sure that they tasted the same. My girlfriend then took the two wines for half an hour. She put one in the Perfect Sommelier, and the other she just let sit. She then poured two glasses from each, and brought them to my friend and me, then left. While I could detect no difference between the two, my friend, eager to defend his purchase, swore that the glass labeld "B" was better than the first. It turned out that glass "B" was the one that had not been in the Perfect Sommelier!
The Perfect Sommelier does improve wine, but not through mystical magnetic properties. It makes the consumer open the wine and then wait 30 minutes, which exposes the wine to the air. Letting wine breath mellows it out and releases the nose, just as the Perfect Sommelier promises. Save yourself the money and just let your wines breath!

My fiancee and I first tried this a few months ago, I finally found it at amazon.com and we were thrilled to purchase it. It really is the difference between night and day! It ages your wine in just a short time and gives it such a smoothness that it is unbelievable. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who likes wine, or even to anyone who is just getting into wine drinking! You just throw the bottle on the platform after it's corked, cook dinner and by the time you are done, it tastes like you are drinking a different wine, so much smoother with a nice aged taste to it! It is amazing! Try it out for yourself!

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it, but in spite of my scepticism, this thing really works. $10 wine turns in to a $50 wine? No way. A couple years of aging on a wine that would benefit from laying down several years? Yes. I received it for Fathers Day and tested it twice. Both times I poured some wine into a good quality glass, left partially covered and set the rest of the bottle on The Perfect Sommelier for 30 minutes. The first bottle was a 2001 Barbaresco with tannins so tight it probably needs 10 years to soften up. With The Perfect Sommelier, it was still mouth puckering tannic, but far more drinkable than the glass I had set aside. The second bottle was a 1999 Lytton Springs, which in my opinion needs another two years to be at its best. With The Perfect Sommelier, very good, very drinkable. The glass I set aside, still a great wine, but somewhat closed, not yet quite there. Is this better than decanting? I just don't know for sure, but I think the glass that I set aside would be comparable to the aeration a wine gets by sitting in a decanter. I hate the fact that I have no reasonable expanation of why The Perfect Sommelier works, but it does. I give it 4 stars instead of 5, only because I'm the eternal sceptic.
