I’m told it is on the cover of the Life and Arts section this weekend.

CONGRATULATIONS, Eric!!! Well done.

[Eric_LeVine]

Thank you so much!

Atta girl, Eric!

That’s actually a very interesting article - sort of a tribute more than a truly descriptive article, and one to be HUGELY proud of. It’s good to be loved by Jancis!!

That is so cool. Eric, you certainly earned it.

That is so cool. Eric, you certainly earned it.

Alex, let’s not get ahead of ourselves… he wrote a little code… but it US, the users of CT, that have made it what is is… anybody can write code, but to go out and learn about wine, build a collection, and input into CT, drink it, write a note, etc…that is where th real work is done… code, schmode

What Scott said. I have spent countless hours writing notes, arranging events on that site. That’s real work not those 100+ hour weeks Eric’s spent writing code…

Seriously, congrats Eric and you should receive something middle of next week

Let’s not forget that he gets all his cool ideas from WineBerserkers. Where’s the love for the thinking tank, Jancis??? WTF!

Chickens and eggs, eggs and chickens. Yes I work hard, but anything I do is dwarfed by the contribution and content and participation of the community. At this point CT is not about me or my code but about the users. It is a living, breathing thing.

Awesome. Congrats, Eric!

Congrats, Eric!

But one thing… the name is changing to GrapeStories? Really?


EDIT: never mind, just saw your explanation on the link that Wilfred just posted. Makes sense, good luck! (btw can I beg for an invitation code?

The Revolution will not be televised!

I know you’re just screwing with Eric, but I think it’s important to point out that not only did Eric “write code”, but he designed a user interface that was at the same time intuitive, powerful, and took advantage of the web to revolutionize access to cellar management.

[Steve_M_c_C_a_l_l]

Whole lotta well-deserved love in that article, Eric. Congratulations!

[Bud_Carey]

Great article. Congrats, Eric!!!

Jim… EVERYONE knows that CT is more than “code”…my comment was so ad absurdum it was intended to be funny…

Congrats Eric - I think the new UI is going to turn Cellartracker into the “go to” resource for wine ratings…

We’re currently working on a way to integrate it into in store touch screen kiosks!
