Snooth Around
An all-in-one web wine portal
You've got a website for tracking your photos, another for your music, and another for your daily blabbering. And for wine, you need Snooth.
This site's powerful search function lets you see where a particular bottle is sold near you (and at the best price). But rather than just handing you a bottle of wine and calling it a day, Snooth has become an all-in-one portal that makes every uncorking an adventure.
You can upload and track your own cellar, and Snooth's recommendation engine will play matchmaker based on your collection. Its rating database lets you see what the pros and Snooth's worldwide community of users both think of your pick. There's now even an iPhone app.
Planning a wine-country trip? Plot out vineyards on a map and browse photos as you explore your favorite (and soon-to-be favorite) regions and wineries.
Not sure where to start? Begin by searching for a wine on your own terms, no matter how obscure. Tonight's dinner calls for a spicy red under $20? No problem. Need to impress the in-laws with a not-too-sweet Prosecco over $100? There's a bottle waiting just around the corner.
