About Us

At Flathead Somm, our conviction is that we believe in the table. Not every sommelier wants a restaurant. Some of us are drawn to something quieter. To the moment before the first glass is poured, when a table is set and the people you care about are settling in and everything is about to begin. That moment is what this is about.

Flathead Somm was built around a single conviction: that the finest wine experiences in the world don't happen in the most celebrated restaurants. They happen in the right rooms, with the right people, at the right hour — and someone thoughtful enough to have prepared for every detail before you arrived. Flathead Somm brings private, tailored tastings directly to your Montana home, ranch, or venue.

Your Sommelier is Njekwa Beasnael: Certified Sommelier, WSET Level 3, and French Wine Scholar. Njekwa is fluent in English, French, and Spanish.

“Wine found me in the quiet way most important things do — not in a grand hall, but in a small room with the right people and a bottle that made the evening slow down. I came to the Flathead for the landscape and stayed for the light, the silence, and the way a glass poured here tastes unlike the same glass poured anywhere else. These evenings are my way of sharing that — a practice built on attention, restraint, and the belief that the best nights are the ones no one wants to end.” - Njekwa Beasnael
