Red, Good With Steak

by Erin Middleton

snooth1.jpgEnter this into Snooth and get yourself a good wine to go with dinner. Launched in June of this year, Snooth features 1.8 million reviews for over 300,000 wines complete with wine recommendations, ratings and reviews. Users are encouraged to post information about wines they try; and once a user rates five wines, they will start to get personalized recommendations from the social database. The more information a user gives on wines they enjoy, the more personalized and detailed the recommendations become. The “My Wines” feature allows users to build and manage their personal wine collection, maintain wish lists, track reviews and keep detailed notes about their personal impressions.

“Snooth is a powerful tool that helps average wine drinkers and connoisseurs alike find better wine experiences,” said site founder Philip James. “The site’s detailed search options and social recommendations allow users to quickly cut through the clutter to find the perfect wine for their individual preferences.”

Still in beta mode.

    I’m currently trying to keep a list on the inside of my cupboard door that follows what wines I’ve enjoyed. Its a bit basic, with a yes and no column - but I guess this will keep my cupboards doors for pretty pictures instead. Maybe some day I’ll even learn how to taste the difference between a rioja and a pinot grigio. Then again…
