Now this is interesting.
As reported by several sources today (most of them just copy/paste jobs from a press release; check out one example here), CorkSavvy.com (yet another on-line service that allows you to track and review your wines) has launched an interesting feature today.
This feature allows you to snap a camera-phone picture of that bottle of vino you're having (say, with dinner tonight) and submit it (along with your freshest-of-fresh tasting notes) directly to your CorkSavvy account.
I'm a big, big fan of keeping a wine journal. I think it's one of the best (if not the best) ways to up your wine IQ, increase your wine vocabulary, and learn what you do (and don't!) like about wine. Using a wine journal is one of the cornerstone advice pieces that I give in my Tasting Guide.
Could CorkSavvy.com be onto the "Wine 2.0" version of the trusty ol' wine journal? Time will tell. If any of you give this service a try, be sure to give me a shout about it!
Cheers!

Discover how YOU can become a Wine Guru!

Want to get more enjoyment out of every glass of wine that you drink?
Want to feel more confident when you head out to buy your next bottle of wine?
Are you ready to Taste with the Big Boys?
The Dude is here to help!
I'm happy to announce that my Wine Tasting Guide, How to Taste Like a Wine Geek: The 1WineDude Wine Tasting Guide is now available!
Preview a sample of the guide at LuLu.com.
My Wine Tasting Guide details the same practical tasting approach that I used to increase my own knowledge about - and enjoyment of - wine (the greatest beverage in the world). Some of the highlights:
- A step-by-step guide to tasting wine like the pros (only without the spitting or the snobbishness!).
- The story of how I overcame my own personal fear of wine, and was able to go from total WineDunce to the 1WineDude (and how that journey helped to form my tasting approach).
- A practical example of the tasting approach in action.
- Printable Forms for capturing your own wine tasting experiences.
- Links to lots of helpful resources, wine accessories, & more (for further wine learning).
The Guide is targeted at those that are either new to wine, or who enjoy wine now but really want to get more out of it and are not sure where to start. If you're one of those people - now you have a place to start!
The eBook is available for $7.95 USD. It's in PDF format for maximum portability. If you need a PDF reader, you can get one for free for both PCs and PDAs from Adobe, and other software providers (my personal favorite is the light-on-the-resources FoxIt Reader).
Reviews:
- "This ebook, combined with a sample half case or case of wine, can start novice wine geeks on their way to becoming confident wine buyers." - Kathleen Lisson, CSW & Wine Century Club member
- "Succinct information about how to taste wine, what to look for, and how to really determine which wines suit your palate best. Using his scale, I can confidently state 'I Love It!' when reviewing 1 Wine Dude's e-book." - Douglas Trapasso of Chicago Pinot
