Should have known better

giornobike

Version: 1.0

Have been looking for a good wine guide, knew I was taking a risk buying it from a software maker that wasn't known in the wine guide scene. The software is ok, not great, but ok. User interface is better than most out there. The number of wines it has is minimal and it always tries to access the web to download information, which makes looking for a wine in the middle of a restaurant that has no connection a pain. If it had a much larger selection of wines, and a larger database that doesn't require going online, it would be something to think about. I would say it is worth half of $4.99 at the moment.

Found My Favorites

Wine Is Good

Version: 1.0

I am giving this app 5 stars because I searched for my 5 favorite wines from 5 different regions and they were all in there. Casa Lapostolle - Clos Apalta (Chile), Sportoletti Villa Fidelia Rosso (Italy), Glen Carlou - Grand Classique (South Africa), St. Clemente - Oroppas (California), Chateau Lascombes (France). I admit I am not a high-end/obscure wine guy and buy most of my wine from the world's largest wine retailer, Costco, but I think this app is intended more for a guy like me anyway. The interface is nice and is fairly easy to use. Sure...it is a 1.0 and I did see some areas that could be improved in future revisions. Actually, it isn't uncommon that a wine I like can be found on Spectator yet not on Parker or vice versa. Good job guys...look forward to the next update!!

Learning about wine and this really helps!

Version: 1.0

I am still learning about wine and happy drinking wine out of a box, but I have friends and family who really know their wine. This app has been really helpful in making some great selections. I like that it has a selection for good affordable wines. The info that it provides is interesting and thorough. This should probably work well for beginners and wine snobs alike.

Neat App, But I Need Instructions

Alice Bow

Version: 1.0

I am going to give this app 4 stars because I received an incredibly quick response to my request to add a wine. However, for the life of me, I do not see how to edit an entry in my "My Wines" list! I made an error in my entry and cannot figure out how to fix it! I would have rather emailed the developer directly, but cannot locate contact info on their support page. Please help!

Amazing!

Version: 1.0

As an F&B Director at what's considered to the best boutique hotel company in the world, I can honestly say this application is incredible. I use it to assist in purchasing wines at work and my wife constantly takes my phone when she goes to the supermarket. For me, it's like having a Sommelier in my palm and I really enjoy the Featured section that speaks to relavent information in the wine world. The MyWines section assists me at Trade Tastings and our company will most likely be using this technology in the future.

Why no edit capability?

Furthest Left

Version: 1.0

The app on the whole is not as bad a two stars, but there is no capability to edit a record that you add yourself. either that or the way it's done is so well hidden it can't be found. I tried to enter my own wine record and it somehow attributed half the data from a previous record to the new record. I'd hold off buying this app until the developer announces that records you add can be edited/deleted. I'll not be using it any more until I hear the same.

Could be great, but...

Version: 1.0

The application looks gorgeous! The web site is also very stlyish, but the support seems to be allusive. I'm brand new to wines and this looked like the application to get, but it cannot find my first two bottles. I thought I might be doing something incorrect, so I tried to contact a support email or phone number, but there's nothing I can find... not even on their site. If Perk Software is reading this, please email me... I want to be a long-term client!

Version: 1.0

This program is a nice thought, but: - Many, many common and currently available wines are missing - The " My Wines" section does not have any means of keeping track of your wine collection, such as how many bottles are left of each wine - There is no ability to share my program's data with another user. So, when my wife goes shopping she has no idea what entries were made by me about each of our wines. Similarly, when she tries something new and adds the wine to her copy of Wine Ph. D., I have no way to share her entry. Painful. - No database backup. What happens when phone is lost, stolen, or upgraded? Re-enter all of my wines, prices, and notes manually?

Worthless, want my money back

I went into three very popular wine shops. I searched for around 20 different wines using Wine PhD at each and never got a hit. That's a search success of 0%. Either the database is too paltry to be practical or it only contains wines out of the reach of most. Browsing through the database, I did find a few that were $300+ per bottle. I guess if you can afford wines in that price range then you can afford to throw away $5 on a worthless app.

Well worth the price!

I am incredibly impressed by the customer service this app offers. If a wine is not already in the database, ask them to add it. Within a couple of days they have it in their database. With this level of dedication to building their databse, they will soon have the most comprehensive wine database anywhere. What I like most about this app is that it is constantly growing to meet the needs of its customers, which makes it one of my favorite apps.

Hmmm? Where are all my favorites?

KHW68

Version: 1.1

I purchased this app rather than others based on the stellar reviews. However, none of my favorite local wines are included in the database. I'm no expert but I generally purchase wines from a local wine store in Seattle and have sampled various Washington state wines ranging in price (and quality!) and yet hardly any of them are in the database. I know I cam request that they be added but still.....

20 minutes to install and limited content

SonomaGuy

Version: 1.1

Upon downloading this app, before I could do anything else, I was asked to sign up for an account. Okay, I went through that whole process. Next, an alert popped up saying I needed to install their wine database. Okay, I said yes. It took 20 minutes for this database to install! After about 10 minutes the app just flat out crashed. I had to re-open it and try to update again. Finally, the thing installed. Next, I tried about 10 different searches for common wines. 0 for 10. They all came up with empty results. At this point I just gave up. It doesn't seem like there's really many wines in the app. Honestly, I think these guys have a long way to go before it would be worth buying this app.

Nice Update!!

Wine Is Good

Version: 1.1

Happy to see this app is constantly being updated and that they are listening to our needs. Being able to delete wine from my list was a needed fix and allows me to keep a clean up-to-date list of my favorites. Lastly, fixing the iPhone/Sleep update conflict is a huge help. Now I can update and know it will complete the update the first time. Keep it coming....look forward to the next revision. THX.

Duboeuf Beaujolais Villages Nouveau gets a 92, putting it in the same class as the Duboeuf Moulin a Vent Carquelin. Yet the Winemaker Notes for the latter (attributed to the Wine Advocate) refer to "this structured offering's super-expressive character", whereas the Notes for the B. Nouveau describe it as "a festive wine to be gulped rather than sipped, enjoyed in high spirits rather than critiqued."Nor are the Winemaker Notes necessarily up to date. The notes for the B. Nouveau announce, "2002 Beaujolais Villages Nouveau is here!", and continues with several other references to the 2002 vintage. If any bottles of that vintage remain unopened, they are most likely undrinkable.

Very limited and misleading

Tburgueso

Version: 1.2

It's a start, I guess. I looked mostly at French wines and (because they're local) Oregon wines, which are the areas I know best. AOCs (like Buzet) are identified as wineries, important AOCs (like Cahors) are absent altogether. The inclusion of producers is arbitrary and incomplete; major and important producers are mysteriously absent. If you're only interested in the most popular California wines, and don't really know much about wine in general, this might be amusing, and might help you get your feet wet. For international wines, it's not useful. Specialist apps like Hachette's (which covers only French wine, but which does an excellent job of doing that) would be a better choice for someone past the "is it red or white?" stage.

good stuff...

Their customer service rocks! If a wine's not in there, I e-mail them and the longest it's ever taken was 2-days to be added! I've got our restaruant's wine list in "my wines" and now any time a guest wants more info on any wine on our extensive list, BAM! they've got it! There's a ton of stuff in here, but 5-stars when I never have to ask for a wine to be added again...Good stuff guys, keep it up!!! Easily worth the measly $3., thanks!!!
