 Limited Functionality Disappointing, 2004-01-17
Ok. So I don't know too much about wine, but I was hoping that this little piece of software might help me. And I have to say that is does have basic information, but there are some glaring things that could have been done to make this program a whole lot better. First, I have the 2004 version, and the white wines I've been buying are mostly 2002 vintage, but the database is VERY limited on 2002 information. Secondly, the software has a personal "cellar" where you can keep your own information, and a wine database of all wines, but it didn't occur to the programmers that it might be useful to connect these two databases to each other. This means that if you want to add wines to your cellar, you have to manually enter all the information, instead of just selecting the wine from their database. It also means if you want to see what the rating is for one of your wines, you have to search for it separately in the other database. Third, the search capability has bugs. Search for a Riesling and it doesn't return all of them. Finally, the "Classic Wine Pairings" is very limited. Doesn't even listed Chardonnay. (Or maybe Chardonnay goes with everything???) In short, this piece of software underperforms for the price.
