Legal residents of the 49 U.S. states excluding Rhode Island, and the District of Columbia, age 21 or older, may enter, subject to the exclusions in the Official Rules. U.S. citizenship is not required. Residents of U.S. territories and people residing outside the eligibility area are not eligible.
Preorders close on Black Friday, November 27, 2026. We expect the first 100 games to ship the following week, November 30–December 4, subject to inventory arriving as planned. This is an estimated shipment window for the first batch, not an arrival date at your home. Delivery timing depends on the carrier and destination. Shipping timing for later batches will be announced separately.
Maximum 50 entries per person. Each eligible game preorder earns ten entries; each eligible handwritten mailing earns ten, subject to this limit. Any award that would exceed 50 is limited to the number of entries remaining.
The random drawing is scheduled for December 8, 2026, after the mail receipt deadline. The potential winner will be contacted by email and must respond within seven calendar days.
No. The sponsor is The Sommeliers Secret LLC. The prize includes cash and a board game, with no alcohol or winery gift card.

NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.
Prize and odds: One winner will receive $500 cash plus one copy of The Sommelier’s Secret. Total approximate retail value (ARV): $559.99, consisting of $500 cash and a game valued at the current $59.99 preorder price. Odds depend on the total number of eligible entries received. All eligible entries have an equal chance per entry, regardless of method.
This sweepstakes is sponsored and administered by The Sommeliers Secret LLC, doing business as The Sommelier’s Secret, at 32120 Temecula Parkway #1004, Temecula, CA 92592 (Sponsor). Contact: hello@thesommelierssecret.com.
Open only to natural persons who are legal residents of any of the forty-nine (49) U.S. states excluding Rhode Island, or of the District of Columbia and at least twenty-one (21) years old at entry. Rhode Island residents, residents of U.S. territories and possessions, and persons residing outside this eligibility area are excluded. Rhode Island residents may purchase the game but are not eligible to earn sweepstakes entries or win. U.S. citizenship is not required. Void where prohibited. Employees, owners, officers, and directors of Sponsor and any agencies directly involved in administering this sweepstakes, their immediate family members (spouse, parents, siblings, and children), and people in their households are ineligible. Eligibility may be verified before awarding the prize.
The promotion begins on October 19, 2026 at 12:10 p.m. Pacific Time and ends on November 27, 2026 at 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific Time (Promotion Period). Pacific Time means the local time in Los Angeles, California, including any daylight-saving change. Sponsor’s verified payment records are the official clock for purchase entries. Mail-in entries must be mailed and postmarked during the Promotion Period, no later than November 27, 2026, and delivered to the designated mailing address by December 7, 2026. Delivery to Sponsor’s authorized mail-receiving provider counts as receipt; subsequent forwarding does not change that receipt date. The drawing will take place on December 8, 2026 at noon Pacific Time. Purchases before the opening time do not earn entries retroactively.
Complete a paid preorder of The Sommelier’s Secret at thesommelierssecret.com during the Promotion Period. Each eligible game preordered earns ten entries for the purchaser, subject to the 50-entry limit per person. A discounted eligible game earns the same ten entries. Taxes, shipping, gift cards, and other items do not generate entries. Use your own name and contact information; a gifted game earns entries for the eligible purchaser, not the recipient. Eligibility is based on the purchaser’s legal residence, not the delivery location. Orders placed outside the Promotion Period are ineligible.
Entries attributable to games voluntarily canceled, returned, or refunded at the purchaser’s request before the drawing, or to fraudulent or unpaid orders, will be removed. Partial refunds for returned or canceled game units remove only the entries attributable to those units; a shipping refund or price adjustment without cancellation of a game unit does not remove its entries. Independently valid mail-in entries remain eligible. Sponsor-caused cancellations, stock shortages, shipment delays, and refunds resulting from Sponsor’s inability to fulfill do not invalidate otherwise eligible entries. A valid consumer refund request alone is not fraud. This does not restrict consumer cancellation or refund rights. Sponsor-caused cancellations and fulfillment delays must be handled in accordance with applicable law and the disclosed preorder policy.
During the Promotion Period, legibly hand-print your full name, mailing address, email address, and this statement on plain 3 × 5-inch paper: “I am age 21 or older and a legal resident of a U.S. state other than Rhode Island, or of the District of Columbia.” Include your state in your mailing address. Mail one original handwritten submission per separately stamped envelope to: The Sommeliers Secret LLC, Attn: Ultimate Game Night Sweepstakes, 32120 Temecula Parkway #1004, Temecula, CA 92592. Correctly addressed mail using the brand name The Sommelier’s Secret is also accepted. Each eligible handwritten mailing earns ten entries. Multiple separate mailings are permitted up to the 50-entry limit per person; five eligible handwritten mailings reach the maximum.
No receipt, order number, product ownership, marketing subscription, or payment to Sponsor is required. Ordinary postage and supplies are the entrant’s responsibility. Entries must satisfy the postmark and receipt deadlines in Section 3. Photocopies, mechanically reproduced submissions, bulk submissions for other people, and mail requiring additional postage will not qualify. A return mailing address may be a P.O. box; it does not replace the legal-residency requirement. Do not mail identity documents, Social Security numbers, payment information, or money. Mail-in papers will not be returned. Sponsor will preserve receipt and postmark records for fair reconciliation and will not reject otherwise valid entries merely because its mail provider forwards them after the receipt deadline.
Maximum 50 entries per person, regardless of entry method. Sponsor will reconcile entries using identifying information such as name, email, and address; using different emails does not increase the limit. Legitimate eligible entrants sharing an address are not automatically treated as one person. When an award would exceed 50, Sponsor credits only the entries remaining under the limit. Excess entries are excluded. After a valid correction or refund adjustment, Sponsor will recalculate credits so other eligible submissions can fill available space up to 50.
Entries must be submitted by the named entrant. False identities, forged submissions, automated mail-entry generation, or deliberate tampering may result in disqualification based on documented facts. Entries lacking material required information, illegible entries that cannot be verified, or entries outside the published deadlines are ineligible. Eligibility and verification standards apply equally to both methods. Valid nonpurchase entries will not receive inferior treatment in winner selection. Each credited entry has the same chance in one drawing; buying a game gives no preference over an equivalent number of free entries. No additional prizes or entry multipliers apply.
If you believe an entry was recorded incorrectly, contact hello@thesommelierssecret.com promptly. Sponsor will reasonably investigate and correct documented processing errors without requiring a purchase. Sponsor does not guarantee delivery by postal or email services, but remains responsible for its own administration and cannot use an internal processing error to arbitrarily discard a valid entry.
On the stated drawing date, Sponsor will randomly select one potential winner from all eligible credited entries using a documented random-selection process. Odds per credited entry equal one divided by the total number of eligible credited entries in the drawing. Sponsor will notify the potential winner at the supplied email address within three business days. That person must respond within seven calendar days after the initial notice is sent and provide reasonable proof of eligibility and any legally necessary tax documentation using a secure method. Sponsor may request a signed eligibility and prize-receipt statement; it will not require a marketing subscription or publicity consent to claim the prize.
Sponsor will never request payment to release the prize. The selection is provisional until eligibility is verified. If the person is ineligible, declines, cannot be contacted, or fails to respond within the stated period, Sponsor will randomly select an alternate from the remaining eligible entries, repeating as necessary until an eligible winner is verified or no eligible entrants remain. Sponsor will not select a purchaser-only winner or give purchase entries preference. If a documented processing failure prevents the scheduled draw, Sponsor will post notice and conduct it promptly once the complete eligible pool is restored; this does not permit changes to entry eligibility or the advertised prize.
One prize package consists of $500 USD paid by check and one copy of The Sommelier’s Secret. Total advertised ARV is $559.99: $500 cash and a game valued at the current $59.99 preorder price. The $79.99 planned future launch price is not used to increase this advertised value. No alcohol, travel, lodging, or winery purchase is included or required; styled images are illustrative. Cash is unrestricted. Sponsor pays prize delivery costs and will deliver both components within 30 days after winner verification.
The winner may not transfer the prize before award or demand a substitution. If the game cannot be supplied within the stated fulfillment period, Sponsor will provide a lawful replacement of equal or greater value, which may be an additional $59.99 cash payment; the $500 cash component will not be reduced. The winner is responsible for applicable taxes, and Sponsor will make legally required tax reports. No claim fee or shipping charge is payable to Sponsor. The prize is not contingent on a minimum level of orders or revenue and will be awarded provided at least one eligible entrant can be verified.
Entry information is used to administer the promotion, verify eligibility, contact the winner, fulfill the prize, and meet legal obligations, as described in Sponsor’s Privacy notice. Entry does not require subscribing to marketing. Any marketing consent is separate and optional. Sponsor will not sell entry information. Sponsor may disclose the winner’s first name, last initial, and city and state as reasonably necessary to announce or verify the result; any additional use of the winner’s photo, testimonial, or other publicity requires separate voluntary consent.
Sponsor is responsible for administering this promotion fairly and awarding the advertised prize. If fraud, technical failure, or circumstances outside Sponsor’s reasonable control materially compromise the promotion, Sponsor may take lawful corrective action with notice. If early termination is unavoidable, Sponsor will award the prize by random drawing from eligible entries received before termination, including timely mailed entries as reasonably required for fair treatment. Low sales alone are not grounds to cancel or withhold the prize. Nothing in these rules waives nonwaivable consumer rights or excuses Sponsor’s unlawful conduct.
Request the winner’s first name, last initial, and city by emailing hello@thesommelierssecret.com with “Ultimate Game Night Winner” within 90 days after the drawing. Requests will be answered after verification. Applicable federal law and California law govern to the extent permitted, without limiting nonwaivable protections or requirements under the laws of the entrant’s state of residence. Questions about entries or these rules may be sent to the same contact. Winner information is available without charge; home addresses and contact details will not be published. Participation constitutes agreement to these Official Rules. If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law. These Official Rules govern administration of the promotion; Sponsor will correct inconsistent promotional statements promptly, without using this provision to override applicable law or valid consumer rights.
If promoted on Instagram or Facebook, this promotion is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with either platform. Information is provided to Sponsor. To the extent permitted by law, entrants release Instagram and Facebook from claims arising from this promotion. Sharing posts, tagging friends, and subscribing to marketing are not required to enter.
