Personal wine companion — drinking windows, cellar curation, and sommelier chat

Cave

Wine,
finally personal.

You have built a cellar worth knowing. Cave knows every bottle in it — what is at peak, what pairs with tonight's dinner, and which producer would fill the gap in your collection. Point your phone at a label. Ask Cave anything.

Open the Asili Riserva 2016. It is at peak — the tannins will lean into the lamb fat and the dried-cherry register carries the rosemary.

Ask Cave

Every serious collector has wine they understand and gaps they don't. Cave knows both.

What Cave does

Not a tracker. Your personal curator.

01

Your cellar, without the spreadsheet.

Point your phone at a label and Cave files it — producer, vintage, appellation, drinking window. Or just tell Cave what you have. The cellar fills itself, and every bottle stays beautifully catalogued.

02

Curate your cellar. Know what is missing.

Ask what gaps you have, what to buy next, or what would round out your collection. Cave knows your palate and your drinking history — every suggestion is tuned to you, not a critic's list.

03

Your taste. Not a crowd's, not a critic's.

Vivino gives you what everyone thinks. Critics give you what they think. Cave builds its understanding from what you have opened, what you have rated, and what you have loved — then answers accordingly.

Your companion

Always there. Always about your cellar.

Cave reads your cellar before every reply. It knows what you have, what you paid, what you have rated, and what you have already opened. The answer names a specific bottle, with a reason that is yours alone.

Ask anything. What should I open with lamb? What is past peak? What did I love last winter? No hedge, no generic advice. A companion who has memorised your cellar.

Open the 2016 Barbaresco. It is at peak, and the tannins will lean into the fat.

The question no other app can answer

Cave knows your cellar. And what it's missing.

What am I missing in my cellar?
Cave

You have depth in Piedmont and white Burgundy, but nothing structured from the Rhône. Given your palate — you have rated tannic, savoury reds highest — a Cornas or a Côte-Rôtie would sit well.

Ask Cave

No other tool can produce that answer. Vivino does not know your palate. CellarTracker does not know what you have loved. Critics do not know your cellar at all.

Cave holds all three — your bottles, your ratings, your history — and reasons across them. It also knows what a bottle should cost, so when you go looking you know you are not overpaying. Ask what to buy next, what region you have neglected, or what would round out a collection you have spent years building.

Not crowd ratings. Not critic scores. Cave builds its knowledge from your taste, your drinking history, and your own notes.

Yours, not the crowd's
Your cellar

Every bottle known. Every gap named.

Last night
Riserva Asili2016

With lamb. At peak — but a year more would not hurt. Tannins finally settled.

●●●●●Remarkable

Puligny-Montrachet2020

Slightly cold on the open. Warmed up beautifully — orchard fruit, struck flint, long.

●●●●Lovely

Saint-Julien2015

Tight on the open, never came around. Decant next time, or wait two years.
