Status: offline 		Well the folks at the World of Fine Wine (www.finewinemag.com) have done it again. This is an AMAZING quarterly publication, so rich and deep that each issue is like a reference book.)

In issue 19, Mike Steinberger wrote a wonderful, thoughtful piece on the evolution of wine criticism and the role of online tools like CellarTracker in that: http://www.finewinemag.com/docs/SteinbergerWineWriting.pdf

In the just released issue 20 there is a great article by Jamie Goode on the evolution of cellar management tools: http://www.cellartracker.com/WFW20GoodeUnderground.pdf

Anyway, enjoy. And I highly recommend subscribing to this fantastic publication: http://www.finewinemag.com/

Enjoy!

“There are dozens and dozens—none with any real depth of

but my primary focus has been firmly on continuing to
show depth and innovation in the cellar-management space.”




Amen.  I describe it as "Richness of content".  Thanks again, Eric

Status: offline 		I just looked at Warpa and don't think I would care for the "structured tasting notes", if I was interpreting them correctly.. That's one of the wonderful (one of MANY wonderful) things about CellarTracker, is the freeform expression in its user's tasting notes.. You get the character and emotion of the drinker vs a cold calculation and isn't that what wine tasting is all about?

BTW, got distracted by Warpa and forgot to include what I originally intended in this post.. Well done again, Eric!  It will be very interesting to continue to watch the proliferation of CellarTracker as it gains more and more users, more and more wine inventories and more and more tasting notes!  Your vision is truly appreciated...

I'm not in Sales but I almost want to ask Eric for a commission as I'm "selling" CellarTracker whenever I'm having a wine conversation with people!
