Cellar doesn’t manage racks, bins, or handle any other location information, although a timeline feature does at least let you see when you added wines and when you removed them.Ĭellar is easy to use, and anyone with a basic grasp of iOS should have no trouble adding information to the system. When you’ve added your wines and indicated how many bottles you own of each one… well, you’re done. There’s not even room for notes, ratings, or much of anything else. You can then add information to a few additional, optional fields-but the one that matters most, the price of the wine, isn’t an option here. Add a vintage and you’re finished with the basics. The overly simplistic Cellar in no way justifies the subscription fee its developer expects to collect for oenophiles.Īfterwards, you are required to add a wine name (whether it has one or not), so you’ll need to get used to tapping out “Cabernet Sauvignon” on your tablet or phone. Tap the + icon to add a bottle and type in the name of the producer (Cellar offers some suggested wine names as you type, but it’s knowledgebase is deathly shallow.)

It’s not terrible, but it’s nowhere near as good as it could have been. As is, though, we think you’re probably better off skipping it - at least until the folks at Marie Callender’s decide to update the recipe. With a thicker, richer sauce, better shrimp, and an improved noodle consistency, this meal has some potential. The Marie Callender’s White Wine & Butter Shrimp Mac & Cheese Bowl seems like it’s maybe a great idea that Marie Callender’s failed to properly pull off. Both of those numbers are higher than average for a frozen meal. While this one won’t necessarily destroy your diet, you should be aware that it contains 420 calories and 890 mg of sodium. Our expectations for shrimp tend to be a bit higher than Marie Callender’s, we guess. We mentioned earlier that we typically love shrimp, but this stuff tastes extra fishy and has a rubbery consistency that we’d rather forget. Unfortunately, the shrimp is the worst part of this meal. If you find that appealing, that’s your prerogative, we suppose. That means these noodles are the sort that you could slurp off your spoon rather than having to chew them. While some macaronis go for a slightly al dente consistency, this dish goes for an extra soggy one. It’s a decent flavor, but in this particular dish that flavor seems quite weak. It’s a creamy, buttery affair, with subtle hints of bitterness due to the addition of white wine. The sauce tastes like it should be thicker. (Despite our best efforts to grow past it, we still love Kraft macaroni, which can be kind of runny as well.) This particular bowl of noodles, however, does suffer for it. This is definitely not the ideal consistency for a meal like this, though some macaroni dishes can get away with it just fine. What you might not be able to tell from the above image is that the sauce comes out really watery.
