SOMM Wines

was a boutique wine store
and by the glass lounge,
located just off the square
in Fairfield, Iowa.

During the Summer of 2020,
SOMM WINES
relocated and renovated
our new location,
with your enjoyment in mind.
It was our pleasure to
provide many
indoor and outdoor
seating options.

We offered
12 wines by the glass,
5 crafter beers,
and opened any retail bottle
for only $10
corkage per bottle!


SOMM'S
"Best in the Midwest"
cheese and charcuterie board
included 3 cheeses-
triple creme brie
tea rose goat
&
sharp cheddar,
plus
sundried tomatoes, honey,
salami, apple, and
Breadtopia crackers! 


We liked to 
KEEP IT LOCAL
here at SOMM Wines.
Our bread basket
featured Breadtopia
sourdough loaves
and Pickle Creek Herbs
infused olive oil and 
balsamic vinegar.
BOTH MADE HERE
IN FAIRFIELD, IOWA!

SOMM Wines
was proud to serve
local ciders from
Fishback & Stephenson
and
Jefferson County Ciderworks.
Fairfield is lucky to 
have such great
hard ciders made here!

SOMM Wines
also sold
FULLDRAW wines,
carefully crafted by
Fairfield native,
Connor McMahon 
in Paso Robles, CA.
His 100% Grenache,
Hard Point,
GSM blend,
Chopping Block,
and new white blend,
Bamboo,
are fantastic!


 
Still interested in
what we were all about?

Our entire inventory
is
still available
to review on our website.
Owner and sommelier, 
Krista Matthes,
hand-picked over 350 bottles,
each unique in flavor.
Every selection is sustainable,
organic, biodynamic,
or natural and from
every major wine region. 
Boutique favorites,
like Cristom, Bergstrom
 Merry Edwards, and Duckhorn  
were always available. 
 50 wines retail under $30! 

Why was this particular
wine store so special
?
Krista brought her knowledge
and experience straight
from Las Vegas,
where she worked for12 years
as a sommelier,
with the best in the wine
and culinary industries. 
Krista is also an
Iowa girl at heart,
having graduated from the 
University of Iowa.
Best of both worlds!
This intersection led to the core
of SOMM Wines' values.
