The Monkey on my Back

Alright, it's been a few days (about a month) since I've posted last. Let me just say that I've had a great excuse. Vanessa and I took a little vacation during my "time off". We flew to Barcelona, Spain for a few days, and then hopped on a cruise ship that took us to Tarragona, Gibraltar, Cadiz, Marrakech, Funchal, Lanzarote, across the Atlantic to St Maarten and the Bahamas, finally dropping us of in Ft. Lauderdale. I must say that this was one enjoyable trip. The picture below is from the Rock of Gibraltar where the Apes (not monkeys) run wild. I'd like to call my vacation a research trip since I was able to find (and drink) many great Spanish wines from Rioja, Catalunya, Ribo Del Duero and great sherry from Jerez.

So, I've coded enough of my model to begin entering information into the application. Here's what my implementation looks like at this point from the perspective of the core business classes. I've left out the Repository classes for the Wine and Producer classes.

This set of classes will allow me to begin entering information into the application. To that end, I'll be focusing on creating a simple web application that will allow me to add Producers and Wines to the database. The database will contain all of the "known" wines. The next step is to begin modeling a particular user's collection of know wines which will be a subset of the known Catalog. Of course the user will store her wine in a Cellar by the Bottle.

So tomorrow I'll revisit my User Stories with respect to the above model.
