• use one of the search engines on the web - google or yahoo turn up loads of suggestions
• see these suggestions in your turn Jul 04

• the Hachette CD contains a basic system for managing a cellar which contains data from the last few years of Le Guide Hachette des Vins De France in an easily get-at-able form
• use an Excel spreadsheet - purple pages subscriber Bob Ross has published a short description on how to do this at: www.wineloverspage.com/rosswine.shtml

• Kurt M's list and reviews of wine cellar software are particularly good, and can be found at www.baycountryliquors.com
