Pocket Wine Pairing: Sommelier App Reviews

This app comes in so handy when we go on wine tasting tours. Either I use it during the tasting to learn about the varieties being served or I use it afterwards to look up the various terms that are used by the winery hosts. I am very much looking forward to having this app available when we go to Europe this fall, so many new varieties to sample.

Easily the best app for food and wine pairing. The guides for each food type make pairing easy and logical. Im also using the app now as my go to wine journal by adding all the wines I buy.

Tremendously helpful when it comes to matching food and wine. Amazing variety of different food and grapes including German synonyms like for instance Spätburgunder and Lemberger. Lots of details about wine styles and respective food companions.

Practical, useful and very well structured. Better then others out there. Will be using this all the time.

Given that the most important factor in the expression of a grape is the terroir (soil conditions, other climate-related factors) in which it is grown rather than the varietal itself, it would be great to have the abundant information found in this app to be organized according to region, too. In any case, this is a very good app and well worth the $4 to unlock all of its features. Well done and thanks!

Although I already know a fair bit about wine, I find this app very helpful. It is full of information right at your fingertips, and is a must-have app for any wine novice and/or experienced wine enthusiast. Highly recommended!

The vast majority of the functionality of this app is locked unless you upgrade. Not surprisingly unimpressive.

Excellent suggestions for pairing wines with our meals

I usually dont get too excited about apps but I have been recommending this one to friends. It has a wide range of varietals covered and is very handy in pairing up the perfect wine with food. Well worth the money!

I have tried several wine pairing apps and this is my favourite so far because it provides lots of suggested varietals for pairing. There is also some general info about wine. Good value overall.

I recommend it.

If you want to know what wine to have with your food without knowing any more info about it then this app is for you but if you want more info about the wine then you need to upgrade and pay $3.99. Sorry but not really worth it. Maybe if it was .$99 instead.

Totally worth the upgrade.

Quick and easy to use with good pairings and very useful advice.

Nice interface and easy to use. All the basic information you would want to know about the varietals and pairings. Too expensive

Enjoying this app. It approaches wine in a novel way and is all the more refreshing for that. Very stylish and lovely to use. Would recommend the upgrade.

Ive purchased a number of wine apps for the purpose of pairing wine to food. Most were disappointing. This app not only does pairings well, but it also provides a lot of information about the grape ... and there are lots of grapes. Well worth the price. The upgrade is highly recommended. Since I purchased this app Ive used it for a number of reasons; pairings, grape info, etc. most everything I wanted was there. However, I found a few obscure grapes not listed. I contacted the developer who not only agreed that they will add the grapes, but they also included, in their reply, all the info about the grape. How cool is that. Responsiveness to the customer is outstanding!

This app covers a wide range of varietals well beyond the noble and international varietals that many people, including wine snobs, limit themselves to. The navigation is intuitive; start with a grape, get its characteristics or food pairing ideas. Or start with the food and find the most compatible grapes. And the wine profile section is a brilliant idea. Im not sure that it captured exactly my taste preferences, but we need this kind of logical way to experiment with wine choices. For futures, consider a tie in to Vivino, the other wine app that is awesome and perhaps a tie in with the DeLong (periodic) wine table which is not yet an app Awesome app. Keep it going

PocketWine is a great app, containing lots of useful information for any curious wine lover. PW covers the grape, food pairings you can actually use, geography, and even gives you space for note taking. It is obvious that great care was taken in the app programming - the app is beautiful, with smooth screen action, and fully (and logically) cross-referenced sections. I have the full version and it was worth much more than the modest price.

From the basics to the obscure, this has become a valuable resource.
