Book Reviews of A Wine Lover's Journal
Book Review: The perfect wine journal
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Summary of A Wine Lover's Journal
A Wine Lover's Journal is an attractive souvenir book for recording memorable wines. There is a concise introduction to grape varieties and wine aromas, along with information on building a cellar and hosting a tasting party. The pages have ample space to record cellar purchases, winery visits and tasting impressions. The journal becomes a valuable record of how a bottle of wine was enjoyed, the foods that accompanied it and the people who shared it. Each journal page includes space for pasting a wine label as a keepsake. A Wine Lover's Journal is a perfect record book for both aficionados and novices.
