It will track from grape to bottle and provide “702″ reporting for monthly, quarterly or yearly. Tracking barrel fills will be done much the same way as assigning grape lots to fermenters was handled in the video below.

The main holdup in my view is that the iPhone doesn’t support the Bluetooth stack correctly, so a bluetooth barcode scanner can’t be connected to the iPhone. I’m looking for a work around, possibly using the built in camera.

Still even if that issue remains, it would be a matter of selecting the barrel, fermenter or tank from a drop down list on the iPhone to input data.

Labs will be tracked by either block or sample, and Juice supports almost every lab provided at ETS. Best of all, I will be able to interface with web services from tanknet, which means I can track Brix and ferment temps in real time. I can also use Phidgets to get winery environmental variables like RH and temp in the cellar! So cool.

The last thing I’m looking at adding is Evernote integration so that voice tasting notes can be added to the database. Much easier than typing in mouthfeel comments using the iPhone keypad.

And thanks for the kind words Greg!

Looks great! Are you going to use it just for vineyard management or for winery tracking as well, i.e, tank management, barrel management, etc.?

No reason why I chose Vimeo really. A couple less characters to type in the address bar maybe?
The truth is their 65 minute queue is really annoying. I may switch if Viddler has a shorter one.

See you Monday for the Wine Blogging Class at Sonoma State!

Why vimeo and not viddler for video sharing?
