Yesterday Mr. and I got Iphones. It’s VERY exciting. Especially since it’s been 3+ years since I’ve had my own phone, and when I did there was no such thing as “apps” and “smart phones”. (Okay, there WERE smart phones, but I couldn’t afford one so it didn’t count.)
After spending about 3 hours programming numbers into the phone, downloading the Facebook app, and syncing my email account I started perusing the apps.
Voila!
I found EXACTLY what I needed! #7 on my list is now complete!
7. Learn a lot more about wine. CHECK!
Two apps (both FREE, bonus!), which are now in a cute little folder on my phone titled “vino” have helped me to accomplish another task on my 30/30 list. And just in the nick of time since it’s been A WHILE since I’ve been able to check anything off the list!
App #1: Corkbin. A-MAZ-ING! I can instantly learn what wines pair well with what foods, or what foods pair well with what wines (which I’ll probably use more because generally I order wine before food). PLUS, there is an entire dictionary of wine terms which I can use to learn what people mean when they say a wine is “angular” or “unctuous”. I’m already sounding smarter!
App #2: Wine Notes. Gone are the days of buying a bottle of wine and realizing it’s the same bottle I bought two weeks ago and hated. I can take pictures of the label, enter all the information about it from the producer to the country it’s made in, and then I can add my own notes so I can remember if I liked it, loved it, or hated it.
I have a feeling apps are going to be my new obsession, but if I keep finding ones like this I’m a happy camper! If only I’d had this app 3 years ago! Yay vino!
