Great work Matt! I would focus a bit more on design and layout and give more data.

When looking at a list of wines, you've got the score, the name and the price, all widely spaced out, there is nothing attractive about it, it doesn't make me want to go buy, doesn't link to the reviews, etc etc.

I was going to learn ember this weekend, and if you'd like, I'd be happy to do a bit of a design exercise and see what I could do interesting with your data. Free of charge of course, it's just so I can learn and maybe add to my front-end portfolio. Let me know if you're interested, email is in my portfolio.

A few weeks ago I did a windows 8 design idea, in angular, it's in my hn submissions.

Good point about the limited data.

This very moment I am working on doing a page for each specific bottle. When you click the bottle on the query page it will bring you to the bottle page.

For starters I was going to have a short description of the wine and a picture. Linking to the reviews is an interesting idea though.

An email has been sent.

P.S. the windows 8 thing looks cool
