You can also view them as ‘Grouped by Varietals’ or by ‘Grouped by location and bin’ and many others. For example, if you want to select an old world wine, you can view your cellar under ‘Restaurant Style Wine List’ and select ‘Traditional (old-world appellations as headings). You also get to choose the ‘style’ of the menu. The wine menu begins with your Sparkling wines, then moves through your whites, then rosés and finally reds and then your dessert wines.

I would have no idea where they were there if I hadn’t taken the time to input them here (work is still ongoing).Īnother feature that makes Cellar Tracker one of the best free apps for writing tasting notes is that it allows you to view your wines as a restaurant wine list! That’s because Cellar Tracker keeps track of wines in my cellar that are tucked away into boxes. However, this is the app that I use the most! You can check out the screen shots left and below to form your own opinion on its design. OK, that’s not fair because it’s not that bad. It reminds me of the binary computers where you had to program the video games in them before getting to play them. My review here risks sounding negative as this app frustrates me due to its ancient design. Here’s an example of two of Ellen’s tasting notes… That’s not to say there’s no structure to Ellen’s prose, there is.Īnd her tasting notes are pure poetry she just teases you! By the end of a tasting note, you not only know how the wine feels in your mouth, you’ll have a full-body experience. She’ll take you on these long journeys, about Old World vs New World Sémillons, for example, and they’re fantastic! It’s as if you’re having a back and forth with one of your best buddies. These posts are a touch raw and I like it that way.Įllen’s posts sound as if she’s talking off the top of her head. The best reads on the ‘Featured’ section of the Delectable app are from a podcaster named Ellen Clifford who makes (writing) appearances. These are quick reads about the history of a cocktail and its ingredients. The ‘Cocktail Series’ is refreshing (pun intended).
This is the blog section of the app and what makes it one of the best apps for tasting notes. My favourite part of the Delectable app is the ‘Featured’ section. In fact, the only graph I don’t find useful is the ‘This wine is in the top _% of wines in the world.’ I don’t know what the point of that is considering that for me, the purpose of exploring wine is to adventure to unknown regions or varieties and not confirm with me that I’m drinking the same wines as everybody else. Here they have ‘1478 mentions of blackberry, plum, dark fruit’, ‘1000 mentions of oak, vanilla and tobacco’ and ‘498 mentions of leather, smoke and earthy’ to describe the wine. So under the wine you’ll see, ‘ What people talk about‘. This is why Vivino is one of the best free apps out there for tasting notes. You can also see collections of thousands of reviews on each wine that are camped together in ‘ winespeak’ groupings. See how they’ve presented the structure of the wine (pictured on the right). To this point, Vivino represents wine structure in a visually splendid way. For in order for wine description to be useful, it must contain both 1) the aromas and flavours and 2) the structure of the wine (whether the wine is dry, off-dry or sweet, the acidity level, tannin level, body, and alcohol level of the wine).
