Great Ways to Track Wine

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

Looking for ways to keep track of the bottles you’ve enjoyed? A wine journal is exactly what you need in order to remember which vineyard made the best merlot and which chardonnay simply did not work with your swordfish dinner. There are several ways you can keep a wine journal. You could buy a blank journal and create your own format as you try different bottles, or you can purchase a journal made specifically for wine lovers.

Moleskine makes Passions journals tailored to the loves that people have. Their wine journal is an excellent way to keep track of your wine, allowing for places where you can record all sorts of notes, include pictures, and customize it in various different ways.

Kevin Zraly is all about wine. It’s a larger book with more room for larger pictures and space for writing. Great to keep at home, but because of it’s size and hardcover design, it’s not really made for traveling.

If you want something even smaller than the Moleskine, the Little Black Journal of Wine is a good choice. The elastic band keeps it shut and you have plenty of different note areas you can write in. Because of its smaller size, you may have to write smaller to get all your thoughts in!

 

The Gift that Keeps On Giving: Wine of the Month Clubs

Monday, December 6th, 2010

Another great gift for wine lovers, should you run out of ideas for gifts this year, is the Wine of the Month Club.  There are several that are available for you to sign your friend up with, from Food & Wine magazine’s picks to the original Wine of the Month Club.  All it takes is a quick online search and you’ll find yourself with plenty to choose from.

Most clubs are able to ship to multiple areas, which means that you’re more likely to be able to join.  Each month your friend or special someone will receive a package in the mail containing a different wine.  Many clubs offer different memberships, in which the receiver will not only get one bottle, but two and occasionally more.  There are plenty of choices available, such as one red and one white, or all reds and all whites throughout the year.  Be sure you know what the person likes to drink so you get the right membership.  There are also imported wines to choose from, domestics, and for some memberships, premium wines.

You can also decide whether wines will arrive monthly, every other month, or even quarterly.
