In 2009, I\u00a0was a frustrated consumer, tired of gambling at the grocery store or restaurant when a sommelier was not around to help me. After thinking about the idea for awhile, I knew I needed to find a solution and so I\u00a0\u00a0got to work recruiting and directing sensory scientists, wine makers and an applied mathematician to create a new way to objectively characterize wine and build out a personal preference learning algorithm.<\/p>\n<p>Along the way I\u00a0launched a wine blog (which has evolved to become the <a href=\"http:\/\/wine4.me\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wine4.Me blog<\/a>) and partnered with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.5dollardinners.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Erin of $5Dinners<\/a>\u00a0 on a successful wine pairing e-cookbook, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Dinner-Wine-Less-Erin-Chase-ebook\/dp\/B00B2T1YAI?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00B2T1YAI&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl&amp;tag=momstoocom-20#navbar\" target=\"_blank\">Dinner and Wine for $20 or Less<\/a>, in 2011, and then launched<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/wine4.me-ranking-wines-for\/id839861753?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\"> Wine4.Me, a free iPhone application<\/a> in the summer of 2014.<\/p>\n<p>In the Fall of 2015, the company I created, <a href=\"http:\/\/vinesleuth.com\" target=\"_blank\">VineSleuth<\/a>, joined forces with IBM Watson to begin work on a new project just for retailers, to go right in the wine aisle as kiosks where most casual wine drinkers shop. The partnership caught the attention of the New York Times, the Editor in Chief of Fortune, CNN Money, CNBC and more.<\/p>\n<p>The Dallas chapter of Women for WineSense invited me to speak this Tuesday at their monthly meeting and, of course I am thrilled to share my thoughts on wine technology as it relates to casual wine drinkers, as well as here their thoughts on what is working and what is needed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wanna attend?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Join us at Classic Wine Storage, THIS Tuesday, July 26, from 6 to 8 pm<br \/>\n14372 Proton (between Midway and Inwood)<br \/>\nDallas 75244<\/p>\n<p><strong>There is a fee for attending and advance reservations are required.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Women for WineSense Member: $35.00<br \/>\nWomen for WineSense Non-member: $50.00<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"http:\/\/womenforwinesense.org\/content.aspx?page_id=87&amp;club_id=540956&amp;item_id=550661\" target=\"_blank\">register by clicking this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How is technology helping wine drinkers discover the wines they really want?
