Wine Pairings and Wine Cellars - Match maker, match maker make me a match!

The wildly popular wine pairing mobile application 'NatDecants' now has a free version.



This useful app is brought to you by Natalie MacLean. I've shamelessly ripped a paragraph from Nat's Bio because I don't think it could be written any better:
I would so love to hang out with Natalie @ a wine bar in Manhattan after a day of hitting thrift & an a wine bar in Manhattan after a day of hitting thrift & an a wine bar in Manhattan after a day of hitting thrift & an a wine bar in Manhattan after a day of hitting thrift & an a wine bar in Manhattan after a day of hitting thrift & antique stores shopping for old wooden wine crates. Of course with the occational carafe of vino for inspiration throughout the day.
"To fund her late-night vinous habits, Natalie MacLean holds down day jobs as a wine writer, speaker and judge. An accredited sommelier, she is a member of the National Capital Sommelier Guild, the Wine Writers Circle and several French wine societies with complicated and impressive names. Funny, brainy and unapologetically tipsy, her goal in life is to intimidate those crusty wine stewards at fine restaurants with her staggering knowledge." - www.nataliemaclean.com
Some features of NatDecant's:
  • Find 380,000 food and wine pairings
  • Access thousands of wine reviews
  • Search by winery, price, score, region...
  • Track your wines in your virtual cellar
  • Search a directory of 10,000+ wineries
  • Find thousands of tasty recipes
  • Look up definitions for key wine terms
  • Share on Twitter, Facebook with friends


Natalie is also the author of "Red, White and Drunk All Over" which recently won for Best Wine Literature Book in the English language at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards.


Now that you have an encyclopedia of wines...time to get inspired to start a collection!



























Salut!

et *bisous*

  2. I wish i had a wine cellar, but that works in a BIG home...I would settle for a nice fancy wine fridge like the bottom picture. :)
