Drync

If you’re looking for the ultimate app to keep your sommelier senses tingling, Drync may be the cream of the crop. With more than a million wines listed in its database, and hundreds of thousands of tasting notes on each, this is your pocket guide to becoming an overnight wine expert. This app—hailed as the best wine app by The New York Times, Macworld, and Mashable—allows you to log which wines you’ve tried in a virtual wine cellar, with photos, tasting notes and ratings. Browsing at the store, you can look up a wine, read expert reviews and even check current market prices to make sure you’re getting the best deal. You can share your favorites with friends via the built-in Facebook and Twitter messaging, and even snag cool discounts with the Vinpass feature. You can also track your wine purchases through GPS, so you always remember where you scored that dry shiraz or that fruity zin. Drync comes in a free form—ad-supported with a limited virtual wine cellar—as well as a paid version that comes in at $4.99 in iTunes and the Android Marketplace. Check out more at drync.com.
