Ok, so I'm not saying you're an idiot per se, but at least that's how I sometimes feel standing head-scratching in the long aisles of the LCBO. What to get to complement that Cordon Bleu meal you've slaved away at for hours. Er, more like get in, grab a quick bottle for a dinner party, and hope that snap decision isn't a crap decision.
If you're half as hapless as I am, this app will come as a godsend. With a quick snap of the barcode on your smartphone, wine guru Natalie Maclean will answer your prayers and maybe even get you some dinner party cred.
Don't believe me? Take it from The New York Times and The Globe and Mail, which rated Nat Decants as one of five top food and wine apps.
You can access a virtual wine cellar of 150,000 bottles, complete with professional tasting notes, scores, pairings, and recipes. You can even check nearby stock and load your virtual cellar in a few clicks.
So, the next time that ever elusive date night rolls around, thanks to Natalie's ingenious app, you can play the proud sommelier, or at least fake it. We won't tell, promise.
Or if you're feeling ridiculously ambitious, you could always try this.
