Another vote for CellarTracker. I used Cellar! for several years, but
CellarTracker does everything I liked about Cellar! but much better.
And from your description it pretty much does everything you're
looking for.

The common database of wines and tasting notes makes it extremely
useful and easy to use. Out of the 250 or so unique wines I've
entered, I don't think I've had more than 2-3 that weren't already
there, so normally it's a matter of searching on one word in the wine
name, and then clicking on the specific vintage of the correct wine
and adding however may bottles you want to your inventory.

And when you pull up any wine in your list (or search for any wine at
all), you automatically get other user's tasting notes.

I used to be more concerned about my database being on someone else's
server, but those feelings changed when my Cellar! database crashed
and I lost the previous year's entries. And you can always download a
copy of your data from CellarTracker.
