Wine Tasting Journal (Diary, Notebook) Wine Tasting Journal (Diary, Notebook) Hardcover

Chart your course through the world of wine!

'Let's simply get started. Open a bottle of wine and pour yourself a glass'.

Uncork the world of wine with the help of journalist Doug Paulding.

Says Doug, 'There are those who like to embellish and complicate the process of wine tasting, but let's move forward here with a guiding theme: simplicity'.

If you can tell a wine merchant or sommelier about wines you have enjoyed or descriptives you look for, they will have a far better chance of showing you something you are almost certain to like.

'As you fine-tune your palate over time by not just drinking, but by tasting with an analytical approach, better wines will find their way to you!'
