The app opens with a simple list of wineries in the Gorge. Click on a winery and it shows you information about that winery/tasting room; address, phone number, email, hours and description. I like how the clickable links are well integrated into the phone. For example click on an address and the app opens up Google maps with an accurate marker for the winery. From there you can get directions, search for nearby businesses (eg restaurants) etc. A search would be nice, but the website says thats coming.
