Start with the decision
Cella is most useful when the question has context. Instead of asking for a generic recommendation, describe the meal, guests, occasion, budget, or tradeoff you are weighing.

Examples that work well
Useful questions are specific enough for Cella to narrow the cellar and explain the reasoning.
- What should I open with roast lamb tonight from bottles that are ready now?
- Which white wines in my cellar should I drink before the end of next year?
- Find a safe bottle for guests who like smooth reds, but avoid anything I only have one bottle of.
- Compare these two bottles and tell me which one to hold.
Follow up before opening
Use follow-up questions to narrow the answer. Ask why a bottle was chosen, whether it needs decanting, whether another option is safer, or whether the last bottle should be saved.
