It basically searches 80k+ wine reviews and cross references with a listing of wine that is available in my province.

Gives you the best wine for the money you can actually buy.

There appears to be an issue with sorting some of the wines by low price. For some types it appears to sort correctly but for others, the results are not actually sorted by price. The error appeared for Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling.
Thank you for pointed that out. I will play around with the console to see if I can figure out what is going on.
You are only letting people have one thin slice of cake at a time by restricting your search. Why not just spit out a sortable table and let people have more control.

I just used this: https://github.com/joequery/Stupid-Table-Plugin and it was very nice to work with.

Best of luck!

That plugin looks super cool! I have practically no js knowledge, but this seems like a great way to learn.
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
