# Keep a tasting journal

Wine, coffee, beer, tea or whisky: what you tried, where you got it, what it cost and what it tasted like to you. Next time you’re in the shop, ask what you liked.

## An example

**You:** Tried an Ethiopian Guji from Drop Coffee, washed, light roast. Bergamot and peach, really clean. 8 out of 10, 18 for 250 g.

**ADoor:** Added 1 entry to Tastings

**Tastings**

| Name | Kind | Notes | Rating |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Guji, Drop Coffee | Coffee | Bergamot, peach, clean | 8 |

## What you can ask later

- “Which coffees did I rate 8 or higher, and where did I buy them?”
- “What red wines did I like under 20?”
- “Do I prefer washed or natural coffees, going by my ratings?”
- “What did I drink at Marco’s dinner?”

## Who can see what

- **Only you** by default.
- **A tasting group** can each add notes to a shared list, with ratings per person.
- **Friends** can get read access to your top-rated entries for gift ideas.

## How it compares with Vivino or Untappd

Vivino and Untappd recognize a label from a photo and show community ratings and prices. ADoor has no catalog.

ADoor keeps your own palate, in your own words, across every kind of drink. Your assistant can spot patterns, such as a taste for washed coffees, and suggest what to look for next time.

## How to start

1. Open an assistant like ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Cursor and connect ADoor through MCP.
2. Tell it: “Keep my tasting notes: name, kind (wine, coffee, beer), producer, where I got it, price, notes and rating.”
3. Tell your assistant right after the first sip, while you still remember.

## Questions people ask

### Can I add a photo of the label?

ADoor doesn’t store photos. Your assistant can read the label from a photo and save the details.

### Can I keep a cellar list?

Yes. Add a Bottles left field, or a separate Cellar list.

### What does it cost?

Nothing on the free plan, which holds 3 tables and 100 rows. Pro is $10 a month per workspace, with 1 GB of storage and no per-GB charges.

### Does it work with Claude and Grok too?

Yes. ChatGPT, Claude, Grok and Cursor all connect through MCP with a sign-in, and each gets its own access that you can narrow or remove later.
