Whew, this has been a long time coming:

As described here: http://www.cellartracker.com/newsletter/8-9-2010.htm
Four new content channels: PinotReport, Garagiste, Winedoctor and The Rhone Report
Better integration (top level scores shown in the MY CELLAR) view of Sommelier Journal and World of Fine Wine.
Mapping percentages are way up across the board: 100% on nearly all channels with the exception of Tanzer (98%) and Jancis (97%+). Out of 233,000 professional reviews, there are only a couple of thousand unmapped at this point, pretty much just on wines that have never been added to CellarTracker.
Coming in the future: even more content channels. A LARGE new wave of auction data covering MANY more wines than are covered by traditional auctions alone. And of course a huge wave of updates to GrapeStories over the coming months.

Super additions, Eric.

Especially love WD and RR (they cover some of my favourite regions). Really Kick-Ass stuff!

My pleasure Michael.

Yes I am very pleased with the new reviews as well. WD and RR both also cover a lot of territory in my cellar.

Thanks Eric - this is great news. I have been putting Rhone Report in by hand so this will save me some time. Haven't been exposed to Wine Doctor or Pinot Report so I look forward to seeing them.

I have been drinking and buying more pinot so I am interested in anyone's take on Pinot Report.

Steve, let me know if you need me to run a script against your account to purge any of the manually entered pro reviews (to prevent you from seeing dupes of the preintegrated ones).

Eric - That would be great. The ones I entered are under Rhone Report where the ones that are integrated are under The Rhone Report. Thanks much, Steve

Steve, you are all set. I wrote/ran the script and purged 29 pro reviews for you.

Thanks again. Not only for this but all you do. GrapeStories (CellarTracker still for one or two things) has become part of my daily routine. I have learned a ton.

Eric and others,

I'm delighted to be working with CellarTracker and it is great to see my notes integrated with the CellarTracker database. Hopefully they will be useful to CT users. It sounds like there are already a few here familiar with Winedoctor, but no doubt the site will be new to others (even though I'm in my tenth year online this year - how time flies!) so I hope they find the notes and links through to my profiles of use.

Best wishes

I just noticed the new additions, wow, so cool! Thanks Eric, and thanks Winedoctor for putting your notes into CT/GS! Been following the Winedoctor site for several years now, it's a real pleasure to see the TNs for wines in my cellar in CT.
