The wine search and review site Snooth has just raised $1M in financing as reported on Mashable. This is in addition to $300,000 of seed funding that was raised last year.

Of all the Wine 2.0 sites I’ve seen to date, I think Snooth shows the most promise to make a business out of this category. The design and feature set are very well done and the wine database is impressive. The only thing that remains to be seen is if they can attract enough users to make the social networking and ecommerce elements of Snooth viable. My guess is yes, but we shall see in coming months. My full review of Snooth will be posted here soon.

Congratulations, Philip and team on this milestone!
