Wine Inventory Tool

Posted by Administrator on Jan 8, 2006

Recently I have been using Cellar Tracker, which is an online wine inventory tool.  Overall, I am very pleased with this tool.  One of the best things about this tool is that it is free.  They do however, prominately request donations.  That seems fair though for a rather useful and well written tool.

Some things do not seem to be yet implemented (or at least not entirely) community fetures (public sharing of cellar data), integration into E-Robert Parker and more.  It does however, currently include some level of barcode support; though I have not used that yet.

One improvement I would like to see made is with how storage locations are managed.  I enjoy the freeform nature of the storage locations; however, I would prefer to have an interface just for managing storage locations and place location and bin limits to force accurate inventory records.

Not much wine drinking lately

The summer has not provided many wine drinking opportunities. I must admit, I am less inclined to crack a bottle when it is 80 degrees or warmer. As we enter into fall and winter I am looking forward to opening more bottles.

This season I am really hoping to identify a new house wine, something in the retail price range of $8 - 15 per bottle (when bought by the case). I am definately interested in hearing recommendations.

Favorite wine of all time

This one is easy!

Harlan Estate, 1995. Is the best wine I have had the good fortune of consuming. Now a bit spendy, still worth forking over any (well almost) amount of money for the chance to try it.
