About this book
This is a wine log for anyone who wants to remember what they drank and how it compared. Each wine gets its own page. Note the name, producer, style, variety, vintage, region, date and ABV, then write down what you notice in the nose, palate and legs, which are the streaks that run down the glass after a swirl.
Finding the words for what you taste or smell can be tricky, so the checkboxes give helpful prompts. There are 30 common flavours to tick, from lemon and apple to cherry, vanilla and smoke. Two wheels, Fresh & Fruit-Forward and Structured & Developed, group flavours into families: the first for light, bright wines, the second for richer, older or oaked ones. A seven-step colour scale runs from lemon green to deep purple, and a character and texture scale from light to bold. Mark the finish as short, medium or long, then add a star rating and a few lines of notes.
Four index pages hold a numbered list of your wines with their ratings, so a favourite is easy to find again.
