With the digital age comes changes in the way people decide what they eat and drink. Each meal is an opportunity for restaurants to present their guests with the most memorable food and wine experience. A few years ago, John Jordan decided to transform modern-day dining by creating Tastevin, a user-friendly iPad app that empowers restaurateurs with a dynamic selling tool that saves time and money while exciting guests.

Jordan Winery has now expanded its sales and marketing expertise to include Tastevin, the most dynamic tablet technology solution for on-premise beverage programs.

Currently used in 14 states and Canada, Tastevin was created by John Jordan and wine technology entrepreneur, Josh Hermsmeyer, who saw an unmet need in the fast-growing tablet wine list market and created a second company to develop Tastevin.

“After four decades of selling wines to restaurants, we believe that offering Tastevin is a natural progression for Jordan as a thought leader in technology, and most importantly, as a trusted resource for delivering quality and consistency to our on-premise partners,” John Jordan says.

Easy to use in an approachable format, Tastevin instantly disseminates tasting notes, labels, photos, and other rich media to iPads, integrates directly with all major POS systems to gather real-time sales data previously impossible to attain on-premise, eliminates embarrassing out-of-stock situations, streamlines inventory management, helps boost slow-moving inventory, aids staff trainings, and saves time, money and paper.

“We’re excited to provide our customers with a tablet wine list resource that was built in the Jordan fashion—no compromises,” says Chris Avery, National Sales Director for Jordan. “The research and talent that John and Josh have put into making this technology useful and affordable to restaurants is remarkable.”
