I'm finally less shy about pulling my iPhone out when I'm eating dinner somewhere (of course, I do it very discreetly and quickly) — a girl's got things to do, like snapping a pic of the wine to remember one you liked.
But say you don't know what wine you will like, and you're not at a fancy joint where the word "sommelier" has ever been uttered. Or maybe you don't want to ask. Either way, you should check out iSommelier, a $0.99 wine-pairing app.
Just select what you'll be eating, and the app will recommend the varietal that goes best with your meal. Never heard of Malbec? iSommelier also gives you background on the kind of wine, as well as tips like what temperature to serve it.

I'll have to get this. I've been using Cellar Rat to help me buy wine. It's proven very helpful too.
1Definitely checking it out. I never know how to pair wine. I just know that I like to drink it.
2Very nice application!
3Simple, fast, cheap and also (fortunately) useful!
Look at the new app Wine Genius, really fantastic!
4I love food and wine pairing apps. iSommelier doesn't have enough food selections though, because it's really how you flavor the meal, spices and ingredients are even more important than whether it's poultry or fish. I've been using Pair It! - it's definitely more comprehensive... see you later, I hear foie gras calling my name!
