Family-run wine producer from Paso Robles, Hope Family Wines, is “going iPhone” with an application called Wine DJ. Think of it as Pandora based on wine – it sources music from GrooveShark.com to build a playlist of “Music to Match Your Spirits.” In addition, you can additionally tweak sliders to adjust variables that correspond with your current situation. You can choose from settings such as “Candle Light/Strobe Light” and “Flying Solo/Entourage” and the app will stream a custom-made playlist.
Moreover, Wine DJ comes bundled with extensive information on Liberty School including tasting notes (both “what the people say” and “what the experts say”) and a map feature that shows the nearest retailers who carry the wine.
Finally, Hope Family Wines says their application is “compatible” with several wines they produce: Liberty School, Candor and Treana. You can grab Wine DJ free of charge from here. (iTunes)

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
