Who Is The Cool Somm?

The Cool Somm is Emily Kennett — a WSET Diploma level sommelier who believes wine should be approachable, delicious, and actually fun.

After more than a decade working in restaurants and high-end wine sales — from casual wine bars to fine dining restaurants — Emily saw the same thing over and over:

People love wine.
They just hate feeling dumb about it.

So she built The Cool Somm to change that.

No snobbery.
No gatekeeping.
No pretending you need to memorize French villages to enjoy a great bottle.

Emily takes serious wine knowledge and translates it into something you can actually use — whether you’re picking a bottle at Trader Joe’s, ordering Champagne at a fancy dinner, or hosting friends at home.

She’s known for making wine feel:
• Less intimidating
• More relatable
• And way more fun

The Cool Somm is where wine meets real life — and where curiosity is always cooler than pretending you already know everything.

Let’s drink better wine.
