clipped from: www.macworld.com The graphics are pleasing and the type is easy to read, although not adjustable. You tap on a varietal and the app pops open a window detailing where the grape comes from, how the wine smells and tastes, and what foods it might pair with. These tend to be broad generalizations. Not all chardonnays, for example, will smell of apple, peach, apricot, mango, banana, oak, smoke, toast, cream, acacia, butter, cocoanut, tangerine, hazelnut and yeast. But all will have one or more of those elements.
One of the trickier feats, at least as far as I’m concerned, is finding the right wine to go with a meal. The wine journals reliably inform us that the old rules no longer apply. You may drink red wine with fish. You may drink champagne with red meat. It’s okay.
