A Wine Lover's Journal

This is the perfect wine journal. It is small and easy to carry, especially when you are visiting wineries. The book contains useful information as well as sections to record wine purchases, visits to wineries and wines tasted. The book is small, so some wine labels do not fit. I just cut the sides a bit to make it fit. The book contains the following sections in a chapter titled "An Introduction to Wine": Visiting Wine Country The North American Vintner's Year How to Taste Wines Evaluating Wines Buying Wines Storing and Serving Wine Hosting a Wine-Tasting Party As I mentioned above, the book also contains sections where you fill in the information for Wineries Visited, Cellar Records, Tasting Notes and an extra section for Notes. The Tasting Notes section is my favorite because it gives you space to write your comments about the aromas, taste, body and color of the wine. It also gives you space to write whether the wine was opened for a special occasion and which, who were your guests and with which food the wine was paired with. Excellent small but functional book. P.S. The best way to remove labels from a wine bottle is to put it in the oven for 15 minutes (another 15 if needed) (label facing up) and then to peel it out. This melts the glue. The label still has enough glue left to put it in the wine journal without needing any other adhesive devices. Careful! The wine bottle will be hot so use protective gear and do it at your own risk.

Although I do like this journal, it is a little big and the pages look a little outdated. Very nice cover and would look nice as a accent to your home (coffee table book, on top of the wine cabinet, etc . . . )

I got this for my mom beacuse she was always forgetting which wines she liked. This journal was just what she needed. It has wine info in the front pages- the shapes of bottles, the different countries and other stuff. And then it has MANY pages for pasting lables and writing your notes on the wine.

I've purchased these books as thank yous for various clients and have always gotten a positive response. Good way to allow people to remember that bottle that they tried!

This journal is good for the home bound wine lover, it has a place to paste the wine label,(if you can get it off)but it is big. I like that you can choose to put weather it is red or white because red is favored in our household so the other journal's pages would have gone to waste. It has some usefull info inside too. I like it a lot, but it is not one you would take to a restaurant or tasting, it is just a lil too bulky for that.
