New York's Jumeirah Essex House Launches iPad Wine Tablets
The award-winning restaurant's custom created iPad wine tablets are designed to navigate the over 650-bottle wine list, and by featuring the SmartCellar application, the iPad is easy enough for a casual user while detailed enough for the most knowledgeable wine connoisseur.

South Gates' sommelier uses the interactive high-definition, colour touch-screen handheld device to educate patrons on the available wines. Alternatively, guests may get their hands on the iPad themselves and virtually browse the cellars, instantly accessing the information with the touch of a finger.

Convenient, quick and weighing in at 1.5 pounds, the South Gate iPad wine tablet not only provides customers with detailed information about the major wine regions and varieties, but also automatically updates the wine list as labels sell out, to ensure that inventory is always accurate.
