Customer Reviews
Dream app for wine lovers
Natalie MacClean's website is one of the most useful wine resources you will find. This app extends your access to that wealth of information in a well organized format that allows you to easily find the wine to match your food or the food to match your wine. I have several wine apps. This one will be my go-to source. I can't believe how much information this puts at your fingertips.
Simply Brilliant
My favourite app. Everything you could possibly ask for is included - food and wine. Great companion to Nat's web site and wine writings. I raise a glass.
Takes the doubt out of wine selection and pairing!
In a world where free apps usually are skeletons of their commercial versions or where their corporate builders can't see beyond the placement of ads (BMO) and forced equipment upgrades (Bell), it's very refreshing to find such a complete and informative app.
Natalie McLean's NatDecants wine guide is such an app. Get this app and never look back! No ads, lots of links and much oenological pleasure!
