The review is offered to give you a
good idea of the wine’s taste and
special qualities. Press
ENTER
or
turn the neck in the
DOWN

review if the line scroll mode is
turned on. (See
SETUP

ertape. If the scroll mode is turned

MORE SEARCH OPTIONS
—
Choosing
RATED WINES
on the
starting menu allows you many
additional options. Rather than
searching for wines by winery, you
can also search by type of wine,
grape variety, country, rating or
price This narrows your search of
the database. You can choose also
to see only wines with reviews.
For example, if you know what type
of wine (red, white or rose) you are
looking for, select
RATED WINES
on the starting menu, and then
select TYPE. Selecting
TYPE
on the
RATED WINES
menu produces the
following screen:
RED
WHITE
ROSE
After selecting either red, white, or
rose, you then can choose from the
following items:
VIEW RESULTS
GRAPE-VARIETALS
COUNTRY
RATING
PRICE
ONLY REVIEWS
Selecting
VIEW RESULTS
gives
you a listing of wines of the color
you have just selected. Or if you
select
GRAPE-VARIETALS
, you’ll
get an alphabetical list of wine vari-
etals to further choose from, such
as
BARBARESCO, BARBERA,
BAROLO
, etc.
Selecting
COUNTRY
gives an
alphabetical list of countries to
choose from. If you search by
PRICE
you narrow your search by
choosing among price categories,
such as wines costing $9 or under,
or those costing $100 or over.
Selecting
ONLY REVIEWS
lets you
choose from an alphabetical listing
of all wines of that color for which
reviews are provided.
Note: If you select, for example,
RED
as the
TYPE
of wine with
PINOT BLANC
as the
GRAPE-
VARIETAL
, when you choose VIEW
RESULTS, Wine Master SE will
search its entire database and even-
tually display
SORRY NO WINE
FOUND
, because Pinot Blanc is not
a red wine. During a lengthy search
such as this, you may abort the
search by simply pressing the
BACK
key.
