SOMLYAY

This Page is Pre-Sale Only!  This is a custom-curated collection, meaning wines are not available locally and will take up to 3 months to arrive. 

Welcome to the custom-curated collection from 2020 Wine Enthusiast 40 Under 40 Tastemaker and 2019 Food & Wine Magazine Sommelier of the Year; Erik Segelbaum founder of SOMLYAY. This page is dedicated to the wines Erik uses in his various educational classes for Smithsonian Associates and private clients. Whether you're looking for a few bottles you tasted in one of Erik's classes or want to see what other wines he recommends, this is your one stop shop. Every wine listed is one Erik has used in a class so you have his stamp of approval that these are "go to" wines. Wines will be constantly added so check back often.

About Erik:
With nearly 3 decades of industry experience, he has a proven track record of success and is a globally recognized and awarded sommelier.  Prior to founding SOMLYAY, Segelbaum held a number of diverse roles that include Corporate Beverage Director for Starr Restaurants, Head Sommelier of MV The World and Corporate Wine Director of Schwartz Brothers Restaurants.

Erik is an Advanced Sommelier with The Court of Master Sommeliers, Certified Specialist of Wine (with distinction) with The Society of Wine Educators and Wine and Spirits Locations Specialist (with distinction). Segelbaum is a wine educator with ongoing sessions at Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. as well as private and corporate events. Segelbaum serves as the Vice President of the United Sommeliers Foundation, a charitable fund that provides financial assistance to sommeliers who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own (such as the global COVID-19 pandemic).

We welcome you to shop Erik’s selections featured in his digital programs in partnership with Cellar.com. The below sections are some of his Hidden Gem’s picks, favorite wine producers and bottles he features regularly in programming. With a belief that your taste is the one that matters the most, his recommendation is to enjoy the wines that speak to you the most and join him in discovering some of your new favorite wines through this page.
