What others have said about The Uncorked Cellar.

"Just to let you know that your software is outstanding. I've already entered the information on about half of my 1,000 bottle wine cellar inventory. Your program has saved me dozens of hours of typing and has provided so much more information than I could ever provide myself. This is great also because my home wine cellar, now under construction, should be completed in about a month. I will tell all my colleagues about the Uncorked Wine Cellar. You have made it even more exciting to purchase, collect and drink fine wines. " ... Louis J. Ignarro (1998 Nobel Laureate in Medicine - USA)
"I"d also like to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful support you have always given your excellent product. As you’re probably aware, I’ve been a registered user from the early days and it has always been a pleasure to deal with you. Thanks again and keep up the good work!" ... Stephen Harlamb (Victoria, Australia)
"I have used your recommendations many times to find good wines. You are the best." ... Derek Fuller (Australia)
"I evaluated four other software programmes, I thought yours was easily the best." ... Steven E (NSW Australia)
"We have a small / medium size business that distributes throughout Australia and New Zealand and pride ourselves on our service and communication to our customers no matter what size order, but constantly find it frustrating that many others cannot seem to do this simple task in return. My order from your company is very small but your back up service and advice, and I might add on a weekend - has been impressive. Thank you for your assistance." ... Ian Johnson (SA Australia)
"I have seen your product and compared it to the other wine inventory programs available. I can say without equivocation that your product is the most superior product available on the market." ... John (USA)
"You clearly understand “internet time”. Your response speed gives me a great comfort that you will stand behind your software and will push hard to have your customers experience unexpected “delight” as they say in the trade. Thanks for your suggestions on the label issue. I plan to be a customer and order the CD as I always like a back up. Thanks again for your excellent response." ... Dave Vercollone (USA)
"Thank you! This is great." ... Sandra Hart (NSW Australia)
".. enjoying my cellar MORE than ever because of your program!..... By the way - I was reading your testimonial page and couldn't agree more with those who commented on your INCREDIBLE level of product support - you should be very proud." ... Steve Ross (New York USA)
"Thanks for the prompt reply; glad I switched from the Parker software.." ... Steve Ludeking (New Jersey USA)

"Thank you for making it so easy to do business with you and your company. I most certainly will keep Uncork in mind for my next wine cellaring purchase. Thanks again!!" ... Bob La Hoff (New Jersey USA)
"Thanks for the update. Just wanted to tell you how incredibly satisfied I have been with The Uncorked Cellar. The construction of my large refrigerated wine cellar at home was completed a few weeks ago. Built with redwood, 18th century Italian and French stone, and antique light fixtures- it's a dream come true. Holds 5,200 bottles but I've got only 1,100 in there so far. Thanks to The Uncorked Cellar, I can manage my inventory perfectly. I used your sorting system to organize the wines by country, variety, winery, region and vintage- then I arranged my wine cellar exactly the same way. Thanks. I have print outs of various sorting systems such as "drink by", "merit", "value", etc. By doing this I discovered that I better drink some of my wine before it's good only as salad dressing. I just can't tell you how valuable this software has been to my wife and me. Thanks." ... Lou Ignarro (California USA)
""I have been using The Uncorked Cellar personally for well over a year now and continue to be impressed with the ease of use and the size of the data base. I researched several other options prior to selecting "Uncorked" and found it, by far, to be the best answer for my cellar management needs...so much so that I have added a division to my company which now offers Wine Cellar Management which we exclusively use "Uncorked" as our software solution..." Vaughn Hardin, President, Hardin & Associates
"I very much appreciate your support and apologise for intruding into your “home time”. I had expected a response in a day or two, but to have you respond within hours and to work on the problem outside of work hours, shows first-rate customer service. I thank you for this." ... Mark Gambetta (Australia)
"Thanks for the help. What great customer support! I'm really happy I purchased your product..." Lowell Neufeld (Washington USA)
"Your (printable) labels are great. They save a lot of time.... "Steve Herrick (California USA)
"For someone I have never met, you certainly are a wonderful help. I love the program and you have always responded immediately. Thanks... " ... Ken Damato (New Jersey USA)
"Your service is the best I have ever had - even to the point of thinking ahead as to what I would need before I did and to e-mail me before I got into trouble. I already have The Uncorked Cellar ready to enter my data... " ... Geoff Doherty (Australia)
"Your program has proven to be a great tool for me. It is wonderful to finally know exactly what is in my cellar and where it is and the Winery data base makes it easy to get wines registered. One thing that I didn't expect when I bought the program was how much easier it would make it to do wine research. Well done Uncorked!. " ... Ian Smith (Canada)
"I can not believe the support I received from Brian. He was right there to personally help me. I am running Windows 2000 on my PC and purchased Uncorked 2007 to upgrade my 2004 version. I could not get 2007 to install over a 2-week period. So, I finally gave up and sent an e-mail to Brian to let him know my situation. I just assumed that I would never hear from him and would never get 2007 to operate on my system. However; less then 6 hours after I sent my plea for help he was on the phone with me and was actually running my computer from his end. It took him over 20 minutes to address my problem and resolve it. Now 2007 is up and operational on my system. It would have never happened without the great support. I am now a true believer in the hospitality and professionalism of the men Down Under. This is a software with the best technical support I have ever seen.
Thanks Brian, you were great to talk with.. " ... Ken Krivanek (Idaho USA)
"This is a simple thank you for the call you made to give me my key number. If I sounded a little stunned I was!! It was great customer service and much appreciated. The software is excellent as my five year membership attests. " ... Bill Mann (Canada)
"I am very impressed with the awesome customer service you provide to your customers. Thank you! " ... Jane Thomas (USA)
"I also wanted to mention to you that the 2007 update really put the nail on the sell. Larger view of cellar. View two at a time. The flexiblility on changing headings and view. I could have written a dozen more reasons but the items mentioned were important to me. Great Work !!!!" ... James Foitek (USA)
"Thanks for a GREAT Product!" ... Steven Carpenter (USA)
"I just wanted to thank you again; your help and support was exceptional, especially over Christmas." ... Simon Goode (England & France)
"I just want to say thankyou! The gear arrived today and I'm well and truely up and running with no hastles what so ever. Software and scanner worked straight out of the box. 1st time...very impressive! Tomorrow I receive all my wines out of storage..." ... Alex Baker (Australia)
"I just updated my software -- quick and easy! From a quick run-through, looks as though you've been very busy since last year. Many thanks for a great product." ... Karl Krout (USA)
"Thanks for a great program. I looked at all the wine cellar programs and tried the various demos before settling on yours. I think it is near perfect and has all of the particular functionality that I need." ... Geoff Lake (Australia)
"Thank you for the 2006 refresh download for the program! I am really enjoying using it. I used to have a laborious effort to look up wine values - now they are automatic. I also really like the cellar rack diagrams! Great software!!" ... Jim Lowman (USA)
"Thank you for the note about the update and for the opportunity to let you know that I appreciate having The Uncorked Cellar for tracking and monitoring my wine collection.

"I look forward to the new version and appreciate the support. This is truly the best software for wine collection that I have ever seen and it is so useful and all concerned with its development and support should be congratulated." ... Graeme Moorhouse (Australia)
"Thanks again for your support. I am still amazed and thankful that you took the time to call. I will recommend you at every opportunity!!." ... Barry (Pennsylvania USA)
"I want to thank you again for your very quick response to help us with restoring our wine information into the software. You were terrific. You have helped me twice now and I thank you. As for future business, we have two couples who were interested in your software and we are wholeheartedly recommending it, especially because of the customer service your provide." ... Jean Peck (Texas USA)
"Thanks for the follow up. It (The Uncorked Cellar) works like a bought one, which I will organize in the next week or so. I am impressed with its ease of use and the information contained in the wine database." ... Mark Brereton (Australia)
"Your product is 100 times easier to use than xxxxxx, which I downloaded first. I gave up after trying to enter about three wines. With Uncorked, by the time I had entered three wines, I was on a roll -- kept going until I had done about 2/3 of my cellar." ... Charles Mills (USA)
"I searched for a couple of years for software to track my wine. "The Uncorked Cellar" is the best I out of all the research. I have been using it for a couple of weeks. Beside the data base search logic, the part that I like the best is that you are able to click a button and it updates your wines with merit (rating) peak, drink by and value. I was able to import the data from my excel and did not have to input each bottle. I know you guys don't have your wines on excel but uncorked has a huge data base of wines so you just search by name and then click the add button when you find your wine. Steve.... you're not doing anything now anyway so this would be a good time to get ride of those yellow sheets of paper. : -) Here is their web site.. (www.uncork.biz) ... you can download for free a trial version with a sample cellar. I have also sent a copy of this email to Brian Allen @ uncork who has given me great support and quick answers when I couldn't figure out how to." ... Roger J. (USA)
"I consistantly confirm that your rating system is pretty spot on no matter how much many people like to deride any rating systems." ... Carl Freiherr von Vivenot (Australia)
"Thanks for the ongoing, great program and support." ... Douglas Thompson (USA)
"Great software, I can't wait to add my information and build my database. Thanks!" ... John Evans (USA) It's a great program so thanks for your efforts." ... Peter Southern (Australia) We have done many things in regard to Uncorked over the last year and I must say it is quite a pleasure to suggest your program to friends. I gave your name to one of the congregants at my older son's synagogue. He is ... in .... New York. I hope you made the sale" ... Bruce Glazer (USA) By the way it's time for some praise - I am pleased with the performance of the Uncorked Cellar and am happy to recommend it. I have a small cellar - about 500 bottles." ... Fred Spencer (Canada)
"I have used the software for a while and decided to buy it. I am proud to say that it is Australian, it is a brilliant program. Congratulations. I have read some reviews on wine cellar software. On one site it reviewed at least 50 of them and this came in the top three. Thanks again!!!!!" ... Grant Stinson (Australia)
"This is fantastic software for an enthusiastic amateur wine collector, easy to use and great after-sales service. Thanks for your continued efforts to improve it" ... Lisa (Australia)
"The program appears to run well with only a few wines not in the database. Simple to use and very practical. I have two cellars, one in NZ and the other in Fiji. This enables me to stock both efficiently by looking ahead at available bottles at peak drinking years.
Very happy with the program and will certainly use the updates when they come available..." ... Vern Heydon (Fiji & NZ)
"I have told a few other's about and they are just as interested in the program, I love the wine tag's and the ease of entering a new wine. You just have to look it up and add it, no time consuming typing..." ... Chris Barrett (Australia)
"What at first seems to be an overwhelming array of input boxes, display fields and comments section make sense after a few test runs. This package is full of functions and features and the graphics are impressive. I would not recommend this product to the occasional user who has 20 bottles to track, but give it a thumbs up for all others.
I tested the June 2002 version, which came with over 9000 sample wines and producer information. I liked the idea of a on-click means to go to the producers Website, if a URL address has been configured.
Adding new wines is easy, either by entering all pertaining data or by using an existing wine from that producer and changing things like vintage. A map of wine producing countries can be displayed, but I found that to be useless because it's simply a country or regional map.
Great product, highly recommended." ... Kurt .... (http://www.baycountryliquors.com)
"This is still the best wine management software around.." ... Adrian (South Africa)
"The Uncorked Cellar has made organizing my cellar so much easier. The software is extremely easy to use, and has pretty much every feature I could ask for. Adding new wines, tasting notes, and uncorking bottles from the cellar is done in a just a few seconds. I highly recommend this software." ... Jay D'Antonio (Canada)
"Started evaluating various programs some time ago, but this one is simply the best." ... Jan Grotenbreg (USA)
"Just wanted to send an email to let you know how pleased I am with 'The Uncorked Cellar'. I have recommended it to several friends and colleages..... 'Congratulations' on designing what I consider a 'cellar essential' program. ... Rich Piper (AUS)
"While I have only been using uncorked for a few days, I must tell you that it is so much easier to use than Robert Parker's Wine Cellar." ... Tom May (USA)
"In the first place congratulations on a well presented and researched site. It's a pleasure to see professionalism and industry at work!" ... Dr Robert Ippaso, Winemaker of Lost Valley Winery
"I have downloaded your trial software for UNCORKED CELLAR ... LOOKING GREAT" ... Graeme Wilson of Windy Ridge Winery
"I spent most of last night exploring your software........expect a registration request by snail-mail." ... Mark Maguire (NZ)
"Thank you for your prompt reply. I must say that in a sea of mediocre customer service, you've managed to stand out in the crowd." .... John Bickerstaff
"....very impressive" ... Gordon Davidson
"As I get more familiar, I am finding this a very fine program. Keep up the good work." ... Kerry Allred of Australian Wine Society, Calgary, Canada
"Wow! I am really liking this software, the cellar is finally organized."... Jack Cook (USA)
"My parents owned a wine store, where I spent most of my childhood helping first clean the store, then move stock, and finally wait on customers. I've seen a number of "wine databases" and Uncorked is one of the best. Your continued improvements only add to its value as a vintage wine tracking software."... Marcus Neiman (USA)
"Congratulations on a 5-star rating. You've done an outstanding job compiling a list of not only wineries, but wines as well.........
(The) Uncorked Cellar is an easy-to-use database that can help you to organize your wines, educate you, and possibly create a broader interest in wines of the world. You can keep multiple cellar files with all the details about your wines, including wineries, labels, vintage, costs, varietals, regions, and tasting notes. Enter data by clicking on picklists, scroll bars, and radio buttons to choose from the extensive collection of Australian, New Zealand, French, English, Canadian, and U.S. wineries. Alphabetized lists let you research producers and see their recent releases, with details about pricing and more. A summary for many entries describes the wine, and an address pane helps you to contact the producers. The multipaned window lets you see your holdings and search quickly by autofill entry. There are regional maps of wine growing regions, reports of cellar quantities and value, lots of note space, and a colorful maturity graph. Reports track cellar contents, value, consumption, and balance. The online help tells you how to use the program and how to care for and enjoy your wines." ... "ZDNet's Software Library"
"It's a great system. The bulk of my collection is Aussie and Kiwi from when I lived in Melbourne, so it's great to have listings for all of the offbeat wineries whose wine I have amassed. Data entry was a breeze!"
.... Mark Viehman (USA)
