Have you been on VinCellar lately and noticed missing label images for your wines?
Well, we definitely notice and it makes us sad. In fact, we often review our community data and try to fill in the missing pieces.
One way you can help improve VinCellar is by uploading label images from wines in your personal cellar. This weekend, we'd like you to dig into your cellar, bust out the old digital camera and upload your California label images.
To get you started, here are some of the most common California VinCellar wines that are missing label images:
Gnarly Head - Zinfandel Old Vines
Viader - Cabernet Franc
Sebastiani - Cabernet Sauvignon Cherry Block (Old Vine)
Hahn Estates - Meritage
Cakebread - Zinfandel Red Hills
Smoking Loon - Cabernet Sauvignon
Ravenswood - Zinfandel Old Vines (Sonoma)
Moon Mountain - Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve
Sequoia Grove - Cabernet Sauvignon Estate
Imagery Vineyard Collection - Cabernet Sauvignon Sunny Slope Vineyard
And that's just the beginning! Any wines in your VinCellar that have missing label images or incorrect years on the label image are great candidates for your photos.
In case you forgot how to upload the images, Amy posted an excellent tutorial on this a while back.
Thanks and happy photo shooting!

In the user profile, you guys should display some sort of count of uploaded label images. Maybe even show petite thumbnails of the images themselves, like collecting badges or something. Would be some minor incentive/reward for users getting images into the system, something like what Yelp does with their profiles.

Good idea to give credit where credit is due. We will add that to the todo list.
After looking into this Peter found there could be improvements to the way we scale images when uploading. Looks for this fix in the next week or so.
