Introducing Mrs. Picky
Measuring wine is a health-conscious practice used by followers of diets such as Weight Watchers, the Sonoma Diet, and others interested in counting calories in wine. Many doctors recommend moderate wine consumption for their heart patients. The Mr. Picky White Measuring Wine Glass is endorsed by world-famous cardiologist and heart surgeon Steven Gundry, M.D., New York Times best-selling author of the Sonoma Diet, Dr. Connie Guttersen, and local Sansum Diabetes Educator, Gerri French.

OUR STORY: When we developed the Mr. Picky® Wine Tasting iPhone Apps we had to taste a lot of wine (and food), it’s a tough job. We finally decided that if we were going to stay healthy we had to be mindful of our consumption. Let’s face it measuring wine in a measuring cup is cumbersome (we tried it) and quite frankly not very sexy! So we invented The Mr. & Mrs. Picky® Measuring Wine Glasses. The first measuring glass prototype was marked with red nail polish and little hearts. Once the idea was born we decided to make it discreet, elegant and fun.
