Thumbs Up Wine Mobile App and Villa Alena Moscato d'Asti Review!

Are you one of those kind of people who stand in front of a large display of wine and wonder what you should you get? You look at all the bottles until you find a bottle and a price point that you like and that is the one you purchase? Well, the new Thumbs Up Wine Finder App is going to change all that! Take a look at the video below for a demo on how the app works!

It's literally that easy to use!

The app is available for both Android and iOS as a free version or a premium $4.99 version! In the free version you can search for wines while in a store or browse when you aren't. When you find a favorite you can save it and have it at your fingertips when you need a wine.

The search allows you to search for a wine by the store you are in, what you want to pair with it, pricepoint, country of origin and more! Once you have discovered a wine you like, you can take a look at it's rating (either two thumbs up or all the way to two thumbs down), tasting notes, suggested food pairings, value and the average retail price. The value is great because it tells you if the wine is worth more or less than it's suggested retail price. You will also find a summary of the wine, a video review for many of the wines, a place for you to rate the wine and an easy way to share the wine you find with friends! You can also see where to buy the wine and also see a great high resolution photo of the bottle to make it easier to find while at the store!

I was also sent a bottle of Villa Alena Moscato d'Asti to try. This wine is listed as two thumbs up on the app! I am a big fan of Moscato and couldn't believe that this wine costs only $7 a bottle or less but the value is listed as a $16 bottle of wine!

It is a delicious sweet wine that tastes like crisp apples with brown sugar. It tasted like Fall! I already saved it to my wine list on the app! Yes, it is that good! I checked and the app tells me that I can find it at Trader Joe's! You better believe that I will be on my way there soon to pick up another bottle or two!

Disney Memories App offers Virtual Character Interaction to Times Square and Other Locations!

From Stitch Kingdom:

The free Disney Memories app allows you to super-impose one of several Disney stamps (such as park icons, character hats, or park balloons) over your device’s camera’s preview window so you can use your finger to position the stamp as well as the camera itself so that it appears the stamp interacts with your photo’s subject. For example, it will allow you to virtually place Mickey ears on a loved one’s head, helping to bring the Disney Parks experience home. You can also choose from a selection of Disney Parks borders for the photo.

Once you take the photo, you can then share it with friends and families through several options including email, SMS/MMS, Twitter and Facebook. No matter how you share it, the recipient(s) will get a link to a private Disney Memories site that will show off your Disney Memories creation. Note that there is no option to directly save your photo to the device for quality assurance reasons, as it contains copyrighted content.

The magic doesn’t end there, however. At the Disney Store in Times Square, the unlock feature uses your device’s GPS functionality to recognize where you are and unlocks special virtual character meet and greet experiences. Instead of just the stamps, you’ll have the ability to superimpose a character to pose with the person whose photo you’re taking. At launch, characters include Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Tiana, Rapunzel, Captain Hook and Stitch with perhaps more on the way. Best of all, you don’t have to go to New York City for the unlocked feature, you can visit one of several select movie theaters nationwide — just look for a special standee at the theater or try out the app there. Exclusive to Times Square, however, is a special Disney Store Times Square photo frame.

To celebrate the launch, Disney Parks and Resorts is hosting a special outdoor virtual experience only at the Disney Store Times Square, today and tomorrow. Guests can visit the store and stand at a special location (across the street, in the pedestrian area) and virtually interact with one of many Disney characters in an augmented reality experience. Guests who visit the experience will also receive a free pair of Disney Store Mickey ears (while supplies last).

Although the virtual outdoor experience is only for Friday and Saturday, the indoor experience with your Android (and soon Apple) phone will continue to be available. So next time you plan on visiting Disney Store Times Square (or one of the select movie theaters) be sure to first download the free Disney Memories app for your Android or Apple phone to add a dose of even more magic to your experience.
