Ok, fine, no ponies. 

I have a special spot in my heart devoted to clean, friendly UIs.  I have another special spot in my heart devoted to fresh and minerally Alsatian white wine.

Combine the two, and you get Snooth– a wine search site that I’d really love to see succeed.  Currently still in beta, the search options are limitless yet accessible, informative yet never patronizing.

Although the few built-in social networking features don’t seem all that sticky, the basic search functionality is fantastic.  After playing around for a few minutes, I was quick to declare it a bookmark. 

My favorite part of the UI?  The scrolling "Can I see some examples?" link on the homepage.  A simple, perfectly-executed way of explaining an entire site without any clutter whatsoever.  As a matter of fact, I tip my hat to the site designer overarchingly– beta site or not, the homepage is close to flawless.
