Everyone from neophyte to oenophile who enjoys a glass of wine will appreciate this beautiful volume from Town & Country. Both a detailed introduction to the basics and a fill-in-the blank journal for personal comments, it’s easy to write in yet small enough to take along when visiting a restaurant, vineyard, or your neighborhood wine store. After a lively and informational opening that encompasses everything from geographic regions and grape varieties to wine labels and terminology, lined record pages make up the bulk of the book: they contain both prompts and room to jot down your thoughts. In Tasting Notes, record such data as wine name, vintage, type, date and occasion sampled, color, bouquet, clarity, taste, and overall opinion. This guide can help you understand wine’s complexities, slow down and enjoy the tasting, and remember the ones that most deserve to be savored.
