Cadent Computing Releases wineCellar 2.0

Cadent Computing has announced wineCellar 2.0, a major update to their popular wine collection and organizer for Mac OS X and Windows. Perfect for wine aficionados and connoisseurs alike, Cadent wineCellar is a unique application for storing, viewing and retrieving information about anyone's wine collection. The application can store up to 2000 wine entries (100 during the free 30-day trial).

Sporting a modern, clear interface, Cadent wineCellar stores the entire collection in a single file which is portable to other computers. It enables wine tasters to view their collection as an interactive hierarchical chart, as a list, as well as thumbnail pictures, each reflective of the other, and all categorized through easy-to-use selectors. Quickly generate a "buy list" for the next trip to the wine store.

Easily search and retrieve wine information by using multiple selectors. Narrow a search by country, varietal and vineyard, as well as the location where each wine is stored. With an (optional) internet connection, users can conveniently research the web to find more information for any given wine. Cadent provides aficionados a sample database and screencasts as a handy guide to quickly learn and explore the many features wineCellar offers.

Version 2.0 is a major update and includes many new feature enhancements. Among wineCellar's most prolific features is its ability to sync user's wine entries to the company's new synchronization service, Cadent Cloud. wineCellar 2.0 will allow a user to create an account in the Cadent Cloud and then to sync wine entries to the cloud. Changes made to cloud entries will synchronize back to the application on the next sync invocation.

Users can access their wine entries in the cloud via two web sites: one aimed at desktops, and one aimed at mobile devices. Both web sites use https (secure sockets layer) to keep login credentials and data private. The mobile site is kept minimalist to be fast and efficient for all mobile devices which support https connections (i.e. smart phones, PalmPre, and iPhone).
