Your book, with a sommelier attached.
The same onboarding as a single winery (one folder of brand assets and a catalog spreadsheet) tuned for portfolio scale. Hundreds of SKUs are welcome, reps get their own doors in, and if procurement prefers the AI spend on your own account, you can bring your own keys. The build is ours; live the same week.
What we need from you.
One tenant, or one per label
A tenant is a complete skin: its own subdomain, palette, logo, and catalog. Run one house-brand tenant across the whole book, or give a flagship label its own. Each label’s members see only that label’s world. Multiple tenants sit under one Portfolio contract; tell us the shape and we’ll scope it on the call.
Send us: the tenant list (names + one subdomain word each)
Brand assets, per tenant
For each tenant: a palette (sixteen color slots: hex values or a brand guide we draft from), a PNG/JPEG/WebP logo under 200 KB, and a one-line login tagline. The core text-and-background pairs are contrast-checked against WCAG AA before launch. Failing colors come back to you with passing shades proposed. The full slot-by-slot reference is in the winery edition; it applies verbatim.
Send us: colors + logo + tagline, per tenant
Persona: most distributors skip it
A named voice suits a tasting-room brand; a trade tool usually reads better clean. Persona-free drops the name and the mascot chrome and keeps the same structure-first pairing brain. Either way it’s data, changeable later, up to 40 characters if you name one.
Send us: “no persona”, or the name
Voice notes
Up to 1,000 characters of house style: trade-facing or consumer-facing, formal or warm. Notes tune emphasis and vocabulary; they can’t override the tasting method or the honesty rules.
Send us: a short paragraph
The portfolio catalog
Same eight-column spreadsheet as every partner, sized for a book: export it from your ERP or price file, hundreds of rows are fine. Template here. Every recommendation is verified server-side against a catalog row. The AI cannot invent a SKU, a vintage, or a price.
Column Notes namerequired The wine, as it reads on your price book producer The label.

Recommendations carry the link in_stock yes / no; blank counts as yes, handy for allocations Updating is a full-list replace: send the refreshed export and it swaps in whole, which makes a recurring ERP export the natural sync, no diffing on either side.
Send us: the CSV, per tenant
Rep & customer access
Reps and customers sign up directly on your subdomain, everyone attesting they’re of legal drinking age, reps included. For cohorts (“the spring sales class,” “top accounts only”) we can mint invite codes, each with a use limit, and able to grant time-boxed trial access.
Send us: the code groups you want, if any
Bring your own AI keys (optional)
By default the sommelier runs on our Anthropic account, included in the tier. If procurement prefers the model spend on your paper, we can point your tenant at your own Anthropic key instead, stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM), write-only from the console, decrypted only at call time. OpenAI and Gemini are supported by the architecture, and we validate them with you before your launch.
Send us: nothing, unless procurement asks
Your admin & the credit line
One person per tenant gets the usage dashboard: requests, tokens, and response times by feature, aggregate only. They’ll receive a single-use setup link (14-day expiry); the admin guide is their orientation. And tell us your “Powered by Wine Hound” election, set per your contract.
Send us: a name + email per tenant, and the credit decision
What your reps actually get
Ask-anything pairing from your book alone, with the structural why spelled out in plain English (acid, tannin, weight, sweetness) the way your best rep explains it. Event planning that builds a dinner or a tasting around portfolio bottles, and printable, branded event kits for account dinners and trade tastings. It recommends; the selling stays yours.
Talk portfolio shape with us.
One tenant or ten, we’ll scope it live on the call and show you a working white-label demo.
