Find the wine you meant to buy again.
Keep the label, vintage and your own verdict together. When you’re looking for that bottle weeks later, you have more to go on than a camera roll.
Your rating answers the useful question: did you like it?
Your personal wine journey
Remember what you tasted. Discover what you like.
Your personal wine journal, so you never forget a wine you loved. Your personal sommelier, learning your palate with every tasting you log. And your own map of wine country, keeping every winery you visit. No wine expertise needed.
Android and iPhone · Invitation required · US testers, age 21+
You remember liking it: the label, the porch, the second pour. A week later, the name is gone.
Cork & Note fixes that.
What it does
Log the wine. Ask the sommelier. Keep the places.
IThe journal
Would you have it again?
A bottle at home, dinner out, or a flight at the tasting bar. Capture each wine while the glass is still in your hand: a rating, flavour notes, a photo, and how it made you feel. Tag the place, or don’t. A Tuesday-night bottle with no location still counts.
- Scan the label or the tasting card and the producer, vintage and grapes fill themselves in.
- No wine vocabulary required. Plain words like “honey, but dry?” are exactly the point.
- Go as deep as you like, with optional sliders for sweetness, tannins and acidity, and a flavour-note picker.
IIThe sommelier
A sommelier that learns your palate.
Every tasting you log teaches it a little more about what you like. Ask what to open tonight, how to describe the glass in your hand, or what to try next. The answers are built on your own ratings, visits and cellar, not a crowd score. The more you journal, the better it knows you.
Ask it things like
- What’s the word for that dry, grippy feeling after a sip?
- We’re having lamb tonight. Which bottle in my cellar fits?
- I keep loving Virginia whites. What should I branch into?
- Here’s a photo of the wine list. What would I actually like?
Five messages a month on Free, unlimited on Pro. Pro also adds three guided tools: photograph a wine list and get picks in your budget, read a taste report written from your whole journal, and plan a wine day with drive times and a schedule.
“What should I try next, based on my tastings?”
IIIThe places · your passport
What did we try last time?
The wineries remember you back. Every place you’ve been keeps its own page: your visits, the wines you poured on each one, your notes and photos. You walk back in knowing exactly what you loved. No other wine app keeps this.
- Pro adds live winery intel from Google, right on the page: rating, opening hours, website and phone.
- Restaurants and tasting bars keep pages too. Anywhere you drink wine counts.
IVThe map
Where should we go next?
Your map fills in as you travel: visited wineries in green, your wishlist in blue, and wineries near you all around them. Search a directory of 14,000+ US wineries by name, on any plan, so the record of your last trip plans the next one.
- Long-press to pin anywhere. Your places are never gated, on any plan.
- Tap any nearby winery to open its page. Pro adds its live Google rating, hours and website right there.
The cellar
Loved it at the tasting? Bring the bottle home.
You tasted it, you logged it, you bought it. Add the bottle to your cellar and it stays linked to the tasting that sold you on it, so months later you open your own notes and remember exactly what it tasted like and why you brought it home. Every bottle also carries a drink window, so you know when it’s ready. And when you can’t decide, Tonight’s Pick has the sommelier choose from your ready bottles, tuned to the occasion, the food and your mood.
- ReadyOpen it any night.
- Drink soonAt its peak right now.
- Too youngGive it a few more years.
- Past peakTonight, or never.
Why Cork & Note
More useful every time you come back to it.
Rating apps know the wine but not the trip. Passport apps stamp the visit but forget the wine. Cork & Note keeps the whole story together, and hands it to a sommelier.
Learn the words as you taste.
Ask the sommelier about the dry feeling after a sip or the flavour you can’t quite name. It has read your journal, because you wrote it, so its advice starts from what you actually liked.
Keep the suggestions that fit. Your rating is still yours.
Remember why you brought it home.
Link a bottle in your cellar to the tasting that sold you on it. Open your original notes when you open the bottle, then record what you think this time.
The wine, the visit and the bottle stay connected. Private, never deleted, on any plan.

A sommelier on call
Ask what to open, what to try next, or what that grape on the menu is. Every answer starts from your own ratings, not a crowd score. Ask about one specific bottle and it looks the wine up rather than guessing, and shows you where it read.
Choose from the list in front of you
Photograph the wine list, set a budget, and get two or three picks with the listed price and a reason each, grounded in what you have rated. It never invents a price or a score.
Your taste, written down
Once you have rated a few wines, the sommelier reads your whole journal and tells you what keeps standing out, with the tastings that prove it, and two things to try next.
A day in wine country, planned
Pick a start, a date and two or three stops. You get drive times, a schedule with room for lunch, and directions to each stop. Turn on wine regions and see every US AVA on the map, with the wineries inside it.
The winery, live
Every winery page adds its Google rating, opening hours, website and phone next to your own history there: the record of your last visit, and everything you need to plan the next one.
Scans that fill the form
Point at the bottle or the tasting card and the producer, vintage and grapes fill themselves in, as many times a day as the tasting room pours.
A cellar that watches itself
Every bottle you own, with drink windows, insights and Tonight’s Pick from whatever is ready. No 25-bottle ceiling.
Pro arrives with launch. Annual is six months’ price. Billed through Apple or Google Play, depending on where you subscribe. Cancel in your store settings. Prices in USD. Pro features are subject to the fair-use limits in our Terms of Use.
Questions
Answered before you ask.
When can I get it?
Cork & Note is in the final stretch of App Store preparation and launches on iPhone and Android soon. This page will link straight to the App Store the day it’s live.
Will my journal get locked behind Pro?
No. Everything you log (tastings, places, photos, notes, your map, and up to 25 cellar bottles) is free for as long as you use the app, and we never delete your entries on any plan. Pro adds the unlimited sommelier (which can look specific wines up on the web) and its guided tools (choose from a wine list, your taste report, plan a wine day), wine regions on the map, unlimited scans, live winery details, the unlimited cellar with drink windows and Tonight’s Pick, and export.
Is my journal public?
No. Cork & Note has no social feed and no public profiles. Your tastings, photos and cellar are private to your account, and you can delete the account, and everything in it, at any time.
Do I have to be at a winery to log a wine?
Not at all. Tag a winery or a restaurant when you’re there, or log a Tuesday-night bottle with no place attached. A wine without a location still counts.
Does it work when the tasting room has no signal?
Wine country and cell coverage are old enemies. Cork & Note tells you when you’re offline instead of pretending to save, so you always know whether a note has landed.
What about Android?
Android is already in testing. We are gathering a small group of early testers for Android and iPhone. Visit Early access to request an invitation; public release dates will be announced separately.
Your next tasting deserves to be remembered.
