Wine For Newbies

The Internet has been abuzz this week over Apple’s new version of the venerable iPhone. Owners of an iPod touch (basically an iPhone without the camera or phone features) are also benefitting from new firmware and applications.

There are a couple of applications in the iTunes Store that may be of interest to wine enthusiasts. One, Wine Log, allows you to keep track of bottles you’ve enjoyed. If you have an iPhone, you can take a photo of the label. The cost is $2.99.

Another, Wine Snob, appears to be a reference tool with pairing suggestions, tasting notes, facts and other information. It also costs $2.99.

I would expect we will see more wine applications for the iPhone and iPod touch in the near future. For now, enjoy these.
