Food Tech Friday-Wine Dictionary (Monkey Experience Oy)

A great pair to another app listed in this section, Wine Organizer 1.0, is an app by Monkey Experience Oy called "Wine Dictionary". This app is great when you are trying to figure out just what exactly a "carvalho" is, or whether or not you're going to need that "Korkenzieher". It has two interfaces you can choose from. One is a standard alphabetical listing of all of the terms in the dictionary, the other is organized in listings from A-Z for your easy searching pleasure.

At $0.99 a go, you can hardly go wrong with this app. It's easy to carry around (unlike its book counterparts) and immensely handy when deciphering those bottles from overseas.

Food Tech Friday-Wine Organizer 1.0


Today’s tech review is an app that should come standard with any “smart” device. Alas it does not, however, being that it’s free you should absolutely consider downloading this amazingly fun and easy to use app. "WineOrganizer 1.0" is an app by RTL Design, and it allows you to organize your entire wine collection by taking pictures of the labels, and entering in information such as the vintage, the purchase date, the name, a short review, and a 5 star scoring system.

I personally find this app to be extremely handy since you can take snapshots of the labels and recall in an instant what you enjoyed, what you didn’t, and what is or isn’t on your rack at home, while you’re out shopping. It’s a digital little black book of wine.

This app is available in the iTunes store and in the GooglePlay store for download on both iOS and Android operating systems.

The Wine Cellar

Riesling, Gewurstraminer, Syrah, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, Champagne, Porto, and the list goes on. Here lies the wines I’ve tried, what I liked about them, what I didn’t like about them, and what I think they would go well with. No froo-froo Napa-Valley winespeak, just a good honest layman’s review. All wines will be based upon a 1-10 scale with 10 being the holy grail of wine, and 1 being the worst substance to ever cross my lips.
