Note from Nat ...

Howdy Wine Lovers,

I'm not able to address issues posted here, so please e-mail me if you have a feature to suggest or there's a bug to fix: natdecants@nataliemaclean.com

.

The new label scanner will improve with your help in adding new wines and labels. Let's make this app even better together!

This is a labor of love for me as a journalist: it has cost me personally more than $100,000 to create and keep updating this app ... so please be kind and patient ;)

Cheers,
Natalie

P.S. Please upgrade your smartphone to Apple's most recent operating system (iOS) to optimize app performance. It's free to do this: apple.com/ios
