= Welcome to users of Cellar! The Ultimate Wine Companion =
From 1995 through 2009, Cellar! was one of the undisputed leaders of desktop 
cellar management software. However, in January, 2010 Guy LaRochelle 
[https://www.cellartracker.com/forum/tm.asp?m=85230 announced that Cellar! was 
discontinued] and recommended that users switch to CellarTracker.
  
In an effort to ease the transition for any users of that software, 
CellarTracker purchased the domain www.cellarwinesoftware.com domain to help 
spread the message. (Please note that CellarTracker is an entirely separate 
company with a separate, web-based cellar management tool. As of this writing 
there are more than 130,000 users tracking 22 million bottles of wine with more 
than 1.7 million tasting notes.)
  
At this point hundreds of users have already moved over from Cellar! using the 
CellarTracker [BulkImport bulk import tools]. The process is exactly as 
described in the aforementioned link. However, for best results (including the 
import of wine in stock, purchase history, consumption history and tasting 
notes), simply **export your Cellar! data to the standard Microsoft Access 
export and email the file to eric@cellartracker.com**. I will then extract your 
data in a form that is best suited to the standard CellarTracker bulk import.

  1. Launch Cellar! on your computer and from the **File** menu choose **Export

message.)//<br>https://www.cellartracker.com/images/CellarExport.png<br><br>

  1. Email the exported MDB file to eric@cellartracker.com, and I will prepare 
it for the [BulkImport standard import process].
  1. If you rely on the barcodes generated by Cellar!, please let me know. 
There is a way for me to reconstruct those and import them in a fashion that 
will allow you some searches based on those.
  
If for some reason you are unable to generate the Access export file, you can 
also find the .CLR file on your computer and email that to me instead for me to 
generate the export.
