A WINE LOVER'S HAVEN
Regardless if you are a wine aficionado, a novice looking for a place to start or just enjoy the odd taste of the grape, this APP is for you! Very diverse in it's nature it can be anything you want to make of it. From simply finding a food pairing with a wine you already have to lining up a wine tasting party. From searching for a wine to finding it at an LCBO, to putting it into your own cellar, this APP has what you are looking for. You can pay for the weekly reviews (which are excellent by the way) but this is not a requirement to get a lot out of this APP. It is certainly a work in progress as are all good APPS but as one reviewer stated it just keeps getting better! I know first hand that suggestions are accepted readily and applied to new versions of the APP. Way to go Natalie and team.
Second Thoughts
I might have been hasty on my first review :( For this I apologize. After spending more time with the app I have discovered lots of valuable information and some great reviews!
I guess I got my back up when the second screen I see is asking me for money..
I would definitely recommend this app.
Just keeps getting better
Aside from seeing what Nat thinks about certain wines, its a great way to keep track of what wine i have on hand (in my cellar on the app, but stored away in the pantry actually) and to keep track of what we think of certain wines when it comes time to restock. Each time Nat redoes the app, a few more features get added that make it more and more useful.
