Morgan ___________________________________________________ April 19, 2013______ Annu B. Prabhakar Dedications Many people have been instrumental in enabling me to complete this daunting project. First of all, I would like to thank my technical advisor Annu Prabhakar. She has provided direction, encouragment, and an occasional shove throughout this year-long process. I appreciate her frienship also, as we have connected on a colleague level as opposed to just student/professor. To Brett Rexroat for pointing me in the right direction when I was unsure of where to go. He was also very helpful in debugging some stubborn code issues, and always succeeded in making me laugh. To my children for understanding my need for quiet, and getting why I occasionally needed to miss a concert or game to work on my project. For putting up with my crabbiness when stress levels got high, and pointing out that my lecturing them on procrastination was hypocritical. I am very proud of all of you - Wesley and Elizabeth Morgan, and Jake and Alex Smith. For my very understanding boss, Bogdan (Bo) Vykhovanyuk. He supported me throughout this process, understanding that perhaps some work loads needed to be adjusted for the short term, and understanding that my vacation time was not spent relaxing but coding. He is very supportive of all of his employees as we pursue further education. And finally, to my incedibly patient and supportive fiance Brian Smith. He has been with me from the very beginning of my education journey, supportive through all of the late nights and stressful time periods. He has done many loads of laundry, cooked tons of meals, transported children to numerous events, and told me when I was being very crabby! I look forward to being done with this project so we can once again spend time together relaxing and enjoying the fruits of my labors.

Beer and wine festivals are seemingly held every weekend, offering patrons a chance to sample new varieties. Theme vacations are popular, with trips like the bourbon trail, and wine tours in Napa and Italy luring travelers that want to try the unusual. In this same time period, mobile devices have become an integral part of people's lives. Apps allow people to quickly and easily record information in an electronic format that is easily stored and shared. Many apps exist to record your beer tastings, a few for wine, and none for liquor. All that do exist have different user interfaces and vary in the amount of information that can be recorded for a selection. Whatcha Drinking is a mobile application for the iPhone platform that allows users to record as much, or as little, information about a beer, wine, or liquor selection as they would like. Users can add a photo to the record, or email a record to themselves or a friend. Users can search for specific records by various attributes, including name, brewery, winery, or distillery, variety type (beer, wine, liquor), like, dislike or love. A large notes section can be used for specific tasting notes, or perhaps to talk about the occasion where it was enjoyed. Whatcha Drinking serves a need in the community for users to keep all of their tastings records in one easily searchable and very portable location while not connecting to social media in any way, which many other apps do on a regular basis. M o r g a n : P a g e | 1 Whatcha’ Drinking: A Mobile Application INTRODUCTION Problem Statement People around the world enjoy tasting and sampling many different types of alcoholic beverages. Some go to an occasional wine tasting, others make it a quest to try a different wine or beer every time they venture out for a nice dinner or gather with friends (Smith) (Wilhelm) (Williams). It can become a difficult task to keep track of those tastings, especially when one can attend festivals where upwards of 50 varieties are available to sample (Wilhelm) (Smith)! Some enthusiasts also like to brew their own varieties of beer, or enjoy sampling the beer made by other home brewers (Williams) (Jazny). The options are almost endless. Recordkeeping can become a problem. One solution that many try is to keep paper records (Smith). As long as they are all recorded in one location (a bound book for example), they would not be in danger of losing any notes. If one is not consistent in this then notes could be misplaced or lost. It can be difficult to search among the records to find a particular wine, beer, or liquor that you are trying to find. Sharing with friends can also be difficult without typing or scanning the notes into a computer. In recent years apps for mobile devices have appeared on the Google Play and iTunes app stores. There are some that allow users to record their own observations about a beer, and a few allow you to rate wines. No apps exist that allows a user to record their notes on beer, wine, and liquor. Each app has different information that it allows you to keep, or has a certain format that they want you to follow. Each user interface is different, so if a user uses one app for wine, another for beer, it can get very frustrating (Williams). Many apps have a sharing function, but it is often done publically through Facebook or Twitter (Williams). This can be distressing to M o r g a n : P a g e | 2 some who may not wish to have their drinking habits broadcast to the public. Many people have jobs and careers that could be negatively affected by public posts of this type. The posts do not distinguish between a two ounce taste and a full serving. This can cause a greatly inflated record of the amount of alcohol consumed. Many would like to share their notes with other enthusiasts; they would just prefer to do so in a private manner (Wilhelm). Searching is easy due to the electronic nature of the records. The search criteria allowed by each application is different though so one may not be able to search by the specific criteria by which they wish to narrow their search. Each application allows only certain information to be kept for each entry. Those fields of information may or may not be the same pieces of information that a specific user would want to record. This can cause frustration for the user, and will in most cases send them searching for another app to try, or will cause them to completely give up recording their tasting notes. Solution Definition A solution to the problem stated above is a mobile application that will allow users to input as much (or as little) information about a variety of wine, beer, or liquor in order to be able to recall later what they sampled, what they enjoyed, and perhaps what to avoid in the future.

    1st October 2017 - 30th September 2018 www.joh.cam.ac.uk ALL PRICES ARE INCLUSIVE OF VAT AT THE PREVAILING RATE Sometimes your choice of wine might not be available. If not, please accept our apologies and we will suggest an alternative. We will also endeavour to supply the vintage indicated, however, if this changes, we will inform you. We will provide the updated vintage on our list. WELCOME Welcome to the new St John’s College Wine List for 2017/18. The wines have been chosen for their individual style and quality. The Catering Team here at St John’s College tasted many of the new wines for the list in March 2017, to make sure they fall within our quality expectations. Some of the wines have been tasted against some of the menu items that feature in the new set of banqueting menus. We also believe that these wines give real value for money. We have also held a few wine tastings with the students of the College, which is always important, as they then know the wines when selecting for their functions. In February 2017 we hosted a wine suppliers’ lunch to discuss new wines, regions, vintages, the wine trade in general and new wines for the list. Many of the suppliers have given us great help and support throughout the year. I visited some vineyards in Portugal, Austria, Sweden, Bordeaux, Rioja and Alsace in the last year. This year we have added a little Bordeaux section to the wine list. Please try some of the more unusual wines, they are good quality and very well made.

  • Bonair Winery Owners and Vineyards
    BONAIR WINERY Gail and Shirley Puryear “Experience the Dream” BW-WA-121 Phone 509.829.6027 Fax 509.829.6510 OWNERS: Gail and Shirley fell in love with wine (and each other) as college exchange students in the wine country of Chile in 1967. After graduating from Washington State University, they moved to Southern California. It didn’t take them long to discover the wine country of California. Careers and children intervened for the next nine years, but in his spare time Gail read wine books, made wine, and taught wine appreciation courses. In 1979 the family moved back to their native Yakima Valley and purchased the five acres that is now the location of the original estate vineyards, the hospitality center, and the winery. They planted the chardonnay and cabernet vineyard and sold the grapes to Quail Run Winery. Not satisfied with just growing the grapes, they decided to jump into the fledging Washington Wine industry and bonded the winery in 1985. Their family and friends felt sorry for them because they thought that no one would find a winery at the end of a dusty country road. Shirley quit her teaching job in 1987 to work the vineyards and tasting room. Gail quit his job as elementary school principal in 1992 to devote his winemaking skills full time to the winery. Bonair Winery now encompasses 35 acres of prime vineyards in the heart of the Rattlesnake Hills AVA. A state of the art winemaking facility and a beautiful new hospitality center with spacious picnic areas are open year round.

Here at The Wine Story Club, our philosophy is that where wine is concerned “small is beautiful” in the sense that wines lovingly produced in small quantities by families who have often worked there for generations are more likely to have individual character, identity and soul than wine produced as a brand in big volumes in an impersonal factory environment. Our wine selection is also based on finding wines which are really typical of their region to help you appreciate the diversity of the world of wine in its full glory. We focus on natural ways of production (Organic, Natural & Biodynamic) because we fervently believe that wine is a natural product which deserves respect and which should be preserved as much possible from the artificial influences of chemicals and additives such as sulphur and pesticides.
