Bottlenotes is a wine community site founded in June 2005 in Palo Alto, California by Kim Donaldson and Alyssa Rapp. The original business plan was completed by Rapp with the help of classmates from the Stanford Graduate School of Business between 2003 & 2005. While the site was developed as an e-commerce site, it has now evolved to become media platform with both marketing and social media capabilities.[2]

Bottlenotes hosts popular wine-tastings in cities across the U.S. called Around the World in 80 Sips (TM), produces The Daily Sip (TM), a daily e-newsletter with over 130,000 subscribers [3][4], and has created an iPhone app that allows users to rate, remember, and record notes on wines they've tried, and share that information with other users.[5]
