In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Tom Walenkamp, Co founder and CEO of Good Pair Days, a company that have built a custom, personalisation engine to deliver expert wine curation specific to each customer’s taste - in their words, it’s like you’ve got a best mate who’s an award winning sommelier.  A decade after launch, they now have over 65,000 subscribers and were dubbed the ‘Netflix of wine’ by Vogue.  In this chat, Tom shares how they have taken their personalisation recommendation engine to the next level, why their focus prioritises customer satisfaction and value creation and we hear all about their exciting plans to launch a physical space for wine - not a bar and not a bottle shop, but something quite unique. Tom also gives us an inside tip for ordering wine in a restaurant…cheers to that.
