• An adjustable "pairing option," which can be customized to accommodate various food preparation styles.
"Food and wine go hand in hand, and we are giving people the chance to find new ways to enjoy them together," says Trone. "Using the new Total Wine app, our customers can also review wine descriptions, find new recipes, and share those via email or print them out for shopping."
The launch of this new app coincides with Total Wine & More's ongoing initiative to offer a unique, "next-generation" in-store experience to its customers. Next-generation elements found in Southern California stores include:
