Howell: Wine

You're sitting at a nice restaurant, the wine list is four pages long, and you have no idea what to order. Howell fixes that. Point your camera at the list, tell it what you're eating, and it tells you exactly what to get — one recommendation, two backups, with a real reason for each choice tied to your actual dish and the wines actually on that list. The recommendations come from deep knowledge of food and wine pairing. If you ordered the duck confit and the list has a 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin and a Malbec from Mendoza, Howell knows which one to pick and why. It's the answer a great sommelier would give without the tableside theater. Find Me is built for serious restaurants. Tap it and Howell locates the restaurant, finds its website, and pulls the full wine list automatically — including the wines on pages your camera never reached. Long, multi-page lists at the kind of places where the wine program actually matters? Howell reads the whole thing before it answers. For everywhere else, the camera scan takes about three seconds. Sign in with Apple, optionally type your order, frame the list, and you're done. Howell is for the person who doesn't know wine well enough to pick confidently, and equally for the person who knows wine but doesn't want to spend ten minutes doing it. Both deserve a fast, confident answer. That's the only thing this app does, and it does it well. Stop guessing. Start pouring.
