Nirvino.com - Pretend to be Wine Snob

Nirvino is a handy little site offering up the best wine reviews from print, online and broadcast. Each wine is scored using a number created from the database of reviews, with 5-star being the best rated. Each wine has a listed price, a screenshot of its label, as well as a flavor profile, and food pairing list.It’s also available in mobile form, ready for your iPhone, Treo or BlackBerry, but any old cell will do. So the next time you’re staring blankly at a restaurant winelist, you can seek help at Nirvino without having to cop to not really knowing what you’re doing. Nirvino also offers over 100,000 food pairing recommendations to help you decide what goes best with that carefully aged and braised veal you’re about to feast on or the chocolate champagne bombe for dessert. You can search by a number of criteria, including tags, newly popular, and food pairings. Also possible is creating your own reviews. Simply sign up. It’s free.
