Using Tasteparty and CellarTracker Together
Many serious wine enthusiasts will want to continue using CellarTracker — it's an invaluable repository for one's wine
journey. Tasteparty doesn't replace that detailed journal; it enriches the tasting events that create those
journal entries. Think of it this way: CellarTracker is where your tasting notes live, Tasteparty is where
your tastings come alive.
Here's how you might use both: Before an event, you check CellarTracker to decide which bottles are in their prime
drinking window or have interesting notes you want to explore with friends. During the event, you use Tasteparty to
capture the group's reactions and make it fun. Afterward, you could log a summary or the consensus winners back into
CellarTracker for your records ("Tasted in group – our favorite of the night was X, which outscored Y and Z.")
If you've never used Tasteparty, you'll be surprised how it can even engage those friends of yours who normally
wouldn't bother to rate or take notes at all. It draws everyone into the analytical side a bit more, but
keeps it light and enjoyable. Meanwhile, CellarTracker remains your deep dive tool — later on, you might
check how the group's favorites align with CT community scores (quite fascinating to do!).
