WineMcGee.com Partners With Wine.com to Create Innovative Wine Database

CHICAGO, March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- WineMcGee.com today announced its integration with Wine.com and creation of a vivid wine database including flavor profiles, food pairings, professional ratings, and consumer reviews on over 45,000 wines. The wine database extends the wine tasting, personal wine management, and social networking technology at WineMcGee.com. The integration is powered by the Wine.com API, which provides access to the extensive catalog of wine content at Wine.com.

"This new database allows us to supplement our local wine tasting, restaurant, and winery listings with content from Wine.com and provide great tools that haven't existed in the past," said Michael Siegler, founder of WineMcGee. "For example, users can print wine tasting sheets prior to attending local tastings, and then come back to the website and review or purchase wine afterward."

Approaching the end of its Beta testing cycle, WineMcGee.com is focused on building tools to allow users to track their wine experiences and learn more about wine. The company is completing development of new software for cellar management, wine country vacation planning, and further integration with local restaurants and retailers.

"WineMcGee.com is the most comprehensive and compelling integration with our API I have seen so far," said Cam Fortin, Director of Business Development at Wine.com. "Although WineMcGee.com is still in Beta, it seems poised for great growth and user adoption."
