    QOTD: The old noggin. Sometimes I forget what exactly I have and feel like a happy squirrel finding a long forgotten peanut. I have pondered an excel spreadsheet but haven’t gotten there yet.

    Believe it or not I use the noggin…technology scares the hell out of me but I admit it makes many chores easier. Because I visit the racks daily for selections and most bottles have tags it’s fairly easy for me to remember what is available. Average inventory about 500 bottles…and yes I do envy those who use Cellar Tracker…

  • Joe Po

    Gary,
    I am a very happyfied Seghesio Zin drinker!
    QOTD: I have the list under “My Documents” but
    I think I should look into this Cellar Tracker.
    Love Zins. Thanks for the episode.

  • QOTD: Online Google spreadsheet, but need to consider CT because things are getting out of hand trying to track everything this way. That and I’m not quite nerdy enough for our casual wine drinking friends…

    Excel, thinking about putting into Access then on the web. Cellar Tracker looks neat, but I think there can be a lot of enhancements to it, some were recently talked about in the forum, and still other ideas out there, especially for a brick and mortar store with a large client base / following.
