Questions
Good to know
◦ How does this work?
This application helps you narrow down some options as to what you would like to drink. The Sommelier and Server will take that information and advise you accordingly, as they know the list well. This application acts as a conduit to form a mutual understanding of the guest and that of the professionals. It is always advisable to have a conversation about the wine before purchasing to ensure a pleasant drinking experience.
◦ How many free scans do I get?
Eight, tied to your verified email. After that, membership unlocks unlimited.
◦ What do I get and what is the price?
Unlimited scans of wine lists and selections dedicated to you. 12 months commitment. $39/month.
◦ How do I attend the allocated events?
Send us a note to info@allocated.ca. The invite-only events are intimate and capped once reached capacity. Save-the-dates are sent out to subscribers — first-come, first-serve is the name of the game.
◦ What other services do you provide?
Personal wine buyer, private and corporate events, access to wine tours, global wine events, and international restaurant recommendations where locals go. Send us a note at info@allocated.ca — we'll get right back to you.
