Your pocket sommelier beta
Camera unavailable — snap or choose a photo instead.
Your palate, in sommelier language — read it out or just show the screen.
Every wine you actually drink — a bottle confirmed at home, a great glass out, a snap of something special — the house remembers. Pins mark the journeys; your rank grows with all of them.
Create a free account and your cellar, wishlist and pins follow you to any phone.
Twenty seconds so your sommelier starts on the right foot — or skip, it learns as you go either way.

If the cork came out, it counts toward your pins — and every answer teaches your sommelier a little more about your taste.

Garde opens full-screen like a real app, you get the little bottle on your phone — and it's the only way Garde can tap your shoulder when a bottle hits its window.

In French, garde means to keep — to guard. A vin de garde is a wine worth cellaring: one with the tannin and acidity to grow deeper, smoother and more interesting through years in the dark.
You'll rarely see the word on a label. Knowing which bottles have it — and when they've arrived — is the old skill of the cellar. That's the job this app has taken on: guard what's worth keeping, say when it's time, and order well while you wait.
En garde — before you drink it too soon.
What's great, what's broken, what's missing — it lands straight with the Garde team.
Reading the list…
Garde will hand this wine to Saison for a seasonal recipe match. The handoff point is wired and waiting.

Nothing on the shelf yet. Photograph your spirits — the house counts what it can pour tonight.
Ice, sugar and lemons — taken as a given.
Nobody begins with twenty bottles. Three, chosen well, pour a whole evening.
1 · Gin. A proper Gin & Tonic tonight; the Gimlet and the Tom Collins by the weekend. Five classics from one bottle.
2 · Campari. The bitter red that turns a shelf into an aperitivo hour — Campari Soda immediately, a fluffy Garibaldi on Sunday.
3 · Sweet vermouth. The quiet fixer. With the other two you now own the Negroni, the Americano and the Milano–Torino — ten classics from three bottles.
When thirst asks for more: a bourbon brings the fireside wing (Old Fashioned, Whiskey Sour); a prosecco in the fridge brings the spritzes and the French 75; vodka with a coffee liqueur brings Espresso Martini nights.
Buy what you'll actually drink — a shelf grows one true bottle at a time. Ice, sugar and lemons: taken as a given.
Add a bottle the camera missed:
Snap each wine you own and Garde manages the whole cellar — quantities and drinking windows, plus suggestions for growing it: new varieties to explore, what to restock, and how to keep the collection in balance.
Nothing resting yet. Snap a bottle you own and Garde will help you know when it's at its best.
