"Words of Praise!! While researching software packages for our winery tasting room we discovered VinNow. Wow! What a find! We opened our tasting room eight months ago and have never missed a beat, thanks to VinNow. The greatest feature of the software package is just about everything. Ted and his programmers have thought of every detail. Based on experiences in his own winery, Ted has meticulously prepared this software for use by anyone. We can rest comfortably knowing that employees can master the software in less time than it takes to order another bottle of wine! Its ease of navigation and user friendly help features, topped off with expert service attention, are exactly what every tasting room dreams of having one day. Dream no more, it’s here!!"
