The Smart Way to Learn About Wine Tasting

Customer Review: A very handy notebook for the beginning wine lover

Twelve years ago I started drinking wine seriously, at first on the advice of a doctor, but soon just for the joy of the endeavor. Keeping good tasting notes is a great way to learn about wine very quickly. Steve De Long has put together a very handy notebook that will teach you how to do just that.

The first section consists of 60 forms to help guide you in writing notes on your first 60 wines. I've posted a copy of the form in the first Comment, and De Long urges you "PLEASE SHARE: Download more forms as well as instructions from from the [De Long's website], print out as many as you like, email to your friends or purchase De Long's Wine Tasting Notebook."

The second section shows you how to fill out the form for the wines you taste, and the third section teaches you the meanings of 216 commonly used wine tasting words and phrases. The notebook lies flat for easy use, the paper takes a great impression from either pen or pencil, the Notebook looks elegant, and it fits easily in your pocket or purse.

Steve and his wife Deborah have published the beautiful De Long's Wine Grape Varietal Table. Over the years I've written over 50,000 wine tasting notes. My experience in writing them convince me that both the Tasting Notebook and the Varietal Table are great resources for learning more about wine.

Besides, my doctor says wine is good for you!
