Thanks for rescuing me in the liquor store!
I was standing in front of a wall of bottles, looking all those labels. Pulled out my iPhone, clicked on this app, punched in the price and style I wanted and presto: 10 terrific wine suggestions plus recipes to match! No more bad wine ... this app stays with me for every liquor store trip from now on.
Best Wine App yet! Pairings, reviews, recipes, journal... wow
I've downloaded lots of wine apps, both paid and free, and this one tops them all. It's got the most extensive list of food and wine pairings I've seen yet (and they're done by a human not a computer), loads of wine reviews that I can understand and trust (ie they're not from a winery or wine store trying to sell me the wine), a virtual wine cellar where I can track my wines, recipes, articles and other stuff. This is like an entire web site in an app. I can't believe that this is free, but who am I to complain? Off to drink ...
