From the homeland of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale (true aged balsamic vinegars), this app explores the other side of Emilia – the Romagna part. I fear the day when I am at a high enough level in my wine studies that this app becomes applicable. You may also purchase Wine Tripper-Ontario, which I’m sure is just as good as the one for BC. They have no plans for changing, but they did respond right away. I reached them at the ‘Contact Us’ section to make this suggestion. They have categories for ‘Red Blend’ and ‘Unknown’ but you aren’t able to manually enter in a grape varieties. But it doesn’t give you the option of adding them manually. Right now, it seems fine because I think they actually have all of the wineries in there. However, when you add a wine, it is limited to only the categories they have listed. You may also enter in wines that you purchase and add your impressions. This is perfect if you are driving through the area. The purple pegs are those that require an appointment. Tap again, and you can check out their hours of operation. Green pegs are wineries that are open, red for closed.

Bravo for this one! Scroll down a satelellite image map and tap on the pegged wineries or search for wineries alphabetically. The only reason I list this app is to make sure you aren’t tricked into thinking this is a superior app to the one listed above for it’s $11.99 price tag. If you know that Chambertin Clos de Beze is Grand Cru then you deduce that the rest of the dark purple are Grand Cru as well. The only set back is that there is no legend and it expects you to know what the colour codes are for. The appellations are colour coded and easy to see. Keep zooming in and you will see highways, road names, Domaine names, as well as Grand, Premier and Village appellations. When it shows up as an app, it will say doc.Īh yes, what wine lover or student could live without an app of Burgundy? This map-app is absolutely fabulous! Designed as pseudo-satellite images, you can zoom in and out easily. Search for ‘Bordeaux Wine’ and scroll across until you come to ‘The Great Wines of Bordeaux’. The one small set back of this app is finding it. This app is simple, great for nerds and best of all, it’s free. You may also search for Chateaux under their commune headings.

Touching each of the Chateau will bring you to another screen which lists any second or third wines they produce. This app details the Chateaux from First to Fifth Growth from the 1855 Classification and the communes they are in. Don’t forget to check out the info sections at the end of your game, especially of the ones you got wrong.Īdmittedly, it’s not the maps on this app that make it great. Just as WSET wine courses jump vastly in difficulty through each level, so do the levels of this game. You must progress through the levels from 1-6 in a 60 second time limit dropping wine labels in places they come from. This is the fun way to learn wine regions. It’s only 99 cents.īrought to you by the Wine and Spirits Education Trust, one of the global leaders in wine education. This app is great review for the novice and those with a little more experience. It is easy to use, has fairly clear maps and the search option moves you to each destination in a cool way. This app is great for review while sitting at the bus stop.
