A subsidiary of the New York Times Co., and headquartered in Sonoma County, Winetoday.com is a comprehensive source of current wine news and information for both novice and experienced wine lovers. The heart of the site is its database of over 5,000 wine reviews, searchable by keyword or browseable by region, varietal, price, or rating. Search results can also be sorted by these four categories. At present, the database reflects the company's California roots, but efforts are underway to add more reviews of international wines. Users can also check the site each week for the wine of the week and that week's reviews, or better yet, set up a Personal Wine Sleuth to alert them by email whenever the site reviews a wine that matches their criteria. These and any other wines that users think they might like can be saved to their personal wine list, stored on the site after free registration. Other offerings at the site include a database with information on over 1,000 wineries, wine-related news and special reports, an opinion section, message boards, and notices of events and auctions. This terrific site is sure to become one of the top online resources for wine enthusiasts.
