For most, ordering a bottle of wine at a restaurant is no easy task. Apart from picking one that is a. affordable and b. easy on the tongue, you don’t really have much to base your decision-making on. Well the steakhouse Chicago Cut has found a tech-savvy solution for that very void of information faced by patrons today. Their menu of more than 750 bottles of wine are now accessible to their customers in the form of an iPad application (the restaurant carries 40 iPads). The app is effectively an interactive wine list that features characteristics such as vintage, region, type and price range. It even has a world map view, which will show you wines that come from specific regions of choice. I would love to see this technology become a greater part of the upscale dining experience. It addresses a true consumer void and well.. supports Apple. Can’t complain.
