Amy Reiley's Pocket Vineyard
and Amy Reiley's Pocket Gourmet
Featured in Academy Awards® Gift Baskets
Los Angeles, CA; March 17, 2003-On March 23, millions of people
will gather around televisions in homes and restaurants to watch
the broadcast of the 75th Annual Academy Awards®. Most people
haven't seen all of the nominated movies, so the talk will turn
to designer gowns, dazzling jewels, actors' staggering salaries
and the free gifts they often receive.
This year's presenters' gift basket, valued at more than $20,000,
will include two software programs from developer neohand, inc.
Donated by Life of Reiley, program creator Amy Reiley's publishing
company, Amy Reiley's Pocket Vineyard and Amy Reiley's Pocket
Gourmet, two top-selling software programs for Palm OS and Pocket
PC PDAs, have been selected by the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts & Sciences for inclusion.
“The market for leisure software programs is growing rapidly,”
said David Horwich, President of neohand, inc. “Pocket
Vineyard and Pocket Gourmet are perfect for the Oscars®
gift bag since our products help make dining and wine experiences
more memorable.”
Amy Reiley's Pocket Vineyard is the ultimate wine guide on the
go. Features include a vintage chart covering more than 29 regions,
a food pairing program, a glossary of more than 500 wine-related
terms, a database for users to enter their personal notes about
wines and a monthly column on the latest wine discoveries.
Pocket Vineyard's companion program, Amy Reiley's Pocket Gourmet,
is designed to enhance the dining experience. The menu assistant
contains more than 2,300 definitions of common and not-so-common
dining terms, covering many ethnic cuisines. The restaurant
notes database allows users to record dining experiences, favorite
dishes, tips of where to find elusive ingredients and other
personal notes. A tip calculator determines the tip and adds
it to the total bill.
Both Amy Reiley's Pocket Vineyard and Amy Reiley's Pocket Gourmet
were honored by Worth magazine as two of “Six Essential
PDA Applications” in July 2002. Pocket Vineyard was also
given a similar honor by Fortune Small Business earlier this
year.
These programs are not just available for those lucky few earning
$20 million per picture. Amy Reiley's Pocket Vineyard and Amy
Reiley's Pocket Gourmet sell for $24.95. For more information
