If you love good wine and great food, you'll love Somm TV. Now in free preview, here are the best shows to sample on Sling TV!

Wine-lovers are known for their discerning taste. That applies not only to their favorite glasses of red and white but to the entertainment programming centered around their hobby. Thankfully, Sling TV recently uncorked a channel focused exclusively on the best in wine, food, and the infinite combinations thereof: Somm TV.

Available as an add-on for $5.99/ month or $49.99/ year, Somm TV features award-winning shows and documentaries that give wine-lovers an inside look at some of the world’s best wineries and restaurants. Best of all, from Tuesday, Oct. 3 to Tuesday, Oct. 17, Sling users can try a free sample of many of Somm TV’s most popular shows, movies, and specials. Here’s a brief look at some of the Somm TV content you can find during the Sling Freeview. To start watching now, search "Somm TV Sneak Peek" or by show name.

Sparklers

Shows like Top Chef and Iron Chef introduced the genre of competitive cooking. Sparklers—a Somm TV exclusive—may be the first show to focus on competitive drinking. According to the Somm TV website, the show is “a competition that “pits five wine pros against each other in the kitchen while highlighting sparkling wine.”

Three Episodes Available

Verticals

Somm TV’s “flagship series,” Verticals has two seasons, with each episode focusing on “the history of a winery or winemaker through the vintages that defined them.” In the first episode (available on-demand during the Sling Freeview), Jill and Steve Matthiasson of Matthiasson Wines “open the first wine they ever made together back as students at Davis.”

Two episodes available

Pairings

There’s a reason why “wine and cheese” has become shorthand for a winning combination of disparate items. In Pairings, Somm TV gives viewers “a never-before-seen look at the minds of the sommelier and chef that make the world's best restaurants.” Sling TV users can watch the episode that focuses on Napa’s SingleThread.

One episode available
