Hello Vino is a mobile wine pairing application that has helped many a wine lover make smart choices about what wine to choose for a meal. Featured on iTunes and written up in Mashable, it’s taking a leap into the world of wine blogging with a new “reviews” tab that features wine reviews from noted wine writers and bloggers, including Joe Roberts (CSW) of 1winedude.com, Bill Daley of the Chicago Tribune and other heavy hitters. This new dimension hops up the already wildly popular app, broadening its appeal to those who love read about wine.

We caught up with Rick Breslin, Principal of Hello Vino and Steve Paulo, Notes from the Cellar blogger, who is a popular contributor on the app. They were both guests at a special event at VinTank in downtown Napa. Here’s the tape:

As you can see, these bloggers are shattering the myth that aficionados don’t need help choosing a wine. Having this information on the go is mighty useful.

“It can be a newbie tool, but it’s very useful for non-newbies as well,” said Thea Dwelle, Luscious Lushes blogger and another contributor to the app.

Contributor Elizabeth Schneider (CSW and sommelier) of Wine For Normal People said she herself sometimes finds herself confronted with a “wall of wine” and no idea which wine to choose.

“The most help that it can provide is in making good decisions when you’re shopping for wine–either in the restaurant or in the store,” she said.
