Founding Palate Council
Palatec's intelligence is only as good as the expert knowledge it's trained on. The Founding Palate Council is a curated group of wine professionals whose structured tasting knowledge forms the foundation of everything we build.
01
Structured tasting evaluations — flavor descriptors, body, acidity, tannin, aromatic profile — encoded in a vocabulary our models can learn from. This is expert annotation, not crowdsourced reviewing.
02
Credentialed background in wine — sommelier certification, winemaking, education, or criticism. Willingness to engage with a structured tasting protocol. No minimum time commitment beyond initial onboarding.
03
Your knowledge is the signal that separates taste intelligence from popularity matching. Without expert input from day one, the model learns what's popular — not what's good. You prevent that.
For Wine Professionals
A founding group of wine professionals whose tasting expertise will directly shape how Palatec understands flavor. Your knowledge becomes the intelligence.
