Pocket Wine Pairing: Sommelier
#1 Food Matching App + Cellar
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Featured as one of the “Best New Apps” on the App Store!
Food and wine pairing has never been so clear, accessible and easy to understand. The app gives you a detailed index of hundreds of meal types, showing you the best matches for different wine styles, grape varieties and blends.
A “Do’s & Don’ts” section, along with a “Quick Guide To Food Types” provides valuable and easy to follow information enabling you to discover even more unique food and wine pairings for yourself.
Add your wines to the unique “My Wines” cellar function, along with your views and ratings. The app also allows you to add as many photos as you like to each wine entry, so you can include a photo of the meal you paired the wine with, a photo of the restaurant menu or a copy of a recipe.
Explore the Styles section and gain valuable insights into wine styles and why they are so important in enabling you to approach wines with confidence, like a professional. Discover the grape varieties that belong to each style, as well as their key attributes, flavor profile, regions and food pairing advice.
Here’s what some users of our full Pocket Wine app had to say:
