Apps We Love: Canada's First Wine & Food Mobile App
Released: July 15, 2010
Not only does this new app give us great wine pairings at our fingertips (on our BB's or iPhones), it also helps us obtain our quota of resveratrol the current anti-aging phenom ingredient (through red wine).
With the Nat Decants Mobile App, you can find the right wines,
whether you're in a restaurant or at the liquor store restocking. It's
like having a sommelier in your pocket. "Green foods are the problem children of the wine world," says Natalie MacLean, editor of Canada's largest wine site at nataliemaclean.com. "But as a stubborn hedonist, I've found some terrific Canadian wines to drink with them." Answering the age old questions of "which Canadian wines go best with "green food", such as asparagus,
peppers and peas?" Download the new app and find out - it's
free.
The Nat Decants Mobile App for iPhone, iPod Touch, BlackBerry, Droid and other smartphones includes thousands of pairings, wine reviews, recipes, articles, blog posts, glossary definitions, cellar journal and winery directory. Essentially, it's a suite of ten wine apps rolled into one. You can access the new app at nataliemaclean.com/mobileapp.
 Nat Decants Free Mobile App Features:
+ Find 380,000 professionally tested food and wine pairings
not generated by computer algorithm
+ Access thousands of wine reviews by an independent journalist
rather than by the wine store or winery that represents the wines
+ Search the reviews by winery, price, score, region, grape, vintage, food match
+ Track your wines in your virtual cellar and add your own journal notes and scores
+ Search a directory of 10,000+ wineries to buy wine or plan a visit
+ Find thousands of tasty, tested recipes for every wine
+ Get wine savvy with articles, glossary definitions & blog posts
+ Share on Twitter, Facebook and e-mail with friends
