I think andrewcross has some solid feedback. I once read that if you have to give instructions to your website, you've already failed the UX. Even though I could deduce everything that your website does without reading the instructions, I did so anyway which took me away from getting to actual product.

I wish your top 25 had price as a column. Otherwise, great job guys & good luck. I forwarded this to one of my colleagues who is a huge wino and will add his feedback.

Good idea with the price column! I don't want to persist that in the database but I'll see if I can figure out a good way to handle that.
Oh, and what do you think about the top wines being displayed as the root page? What would you like to see on the landing page?
Honestly, this is not my field of expertise by any means but one of the top 25 wines randomly selected with quotes, reviews and history with a simple way to cycle through other wines or see the entire list. Maybe scrape amazon + wikipedia?
Wikipedia is definitely on my list of things to do. That's a great idea for the landing page.

Thanks!
