So how does this new-fangled CellarTracker work?
ReplyDeleteWell it makes it look better and links to the Items this way, but It takes a little more work as If the wine is not entered into the database then I'll have to create a new one which is just a couple extra steps. But it looks good, even gives location of the wine
