WineManager is a new generation pocket cellar assistant. WineManager is the solution to help buying wines, track your cellar content, and select the proper wine from your cellar for your meal.

Vintage charts can be useful, but you need to know appellations to use vintage charts: where are "Chablis" or "Collioure" coming from? If you don't know, your vintage chart won't help you. WineManager will find the proper vintage chart depending on the selected appellation.

Many tools will let you know which wine you should buy for your meal, but if you already have some bottles it won't help. WineManager will go further and will suggest a list of wine from your own cellar.

Please read the tutorial before using WineManager: this application works in a very unusual manner (based on an internal appellation charts database) and you might consider reading the tutorial to get more info about it. Trying WineManager without reading this tutorial will probably be a waste of your time... This tutorial is available online at http://treoware.com/winemanager.html and is included as a PDF document in the ZIP archive.

WineManager is currently for sale at PalmGear and Handango, your activation key is provided automatically during your purchase (please check your DeviceID in the "Options > About" menu). Direct payment thru PayPal is also available, and VoiceLauncher registered users can ask for a special discount price: please ask.

WineManager is compliant with Palm Powered Solutions Test Application Compliance Testing Version 2.0.


Important quickstart information

WineManager contains an embedded database of appellations. Each appellation is linked to a specific vintage chart and food pairing information. WineManager doesn't provide a wine database like other applications: all needed information is based on this appellation.

With more than 1800 classified appellations and 200 vintage charts, WineManager is able to provide information in virtually any situation: this makes a big difference with usual wine databases, obviously limited.

Because all information is linked to a known appellation, the only drawback is to correctly specify an appellation to get the proper values from the embedded database.

Selecting an appellation in a list containing 1800 entries would not be convenient, to help you select an appellation WineManager provides an autofill feature: select your appellation letter by letter and WineManager will show you all known appellations.

Some appellations are not always normalized on bottles: for example you can find wines with "Fronton" instead of the real "Côtes du Frontonnais" appellation. You may also misspell your appellation.

To help you find or fix your appellation, WineManager makes use of a proprietary fuzzy logic algorithm and tries to find the best matching appellations. This is a very powerful but complex feature: you might limit the length of your text when possible.

Most French appellations don't specify varietal, however this notion is very important with some appellations. WineManager can make the difference between varietals, for Australia, Chile, Argentina, California, Oregon...

For example you can add varietals to "Napa Valley California": "Cabernet-Sauvignon Napa Valley California", "Chardonnay Napa Valley California", "Pinot noir Napa Valley California", "Syrah Napa Valley California", "Zinfandel Napa Valley California".

Last but not least, you can use the fuzzy logic search to find quickly an appellation. For example, you can enter "brdx" and WineManager will find possible appellations like "Bordeaux": tap on a line to select your appellation.

You can try to use small parts of the words: "casa" is perfect to find "Cabernet-Sauvignon" and "cbsvnpvl" will match efficiently "Cabernet-Sauvignon Napa Valley California".
