Trying to remember what I like about a particular bottle of wine wine is somewhat reminiscent of my childhood for me and playing that damn Simon game with all the colors and sounds. How am I going to remember Chateau this and Domaine that?
So now I keep a journal of all the wine I drink at home so I can have something to work off of next time I go to the local wine shop. Amazon has this handy wine companion for just such an occasion.
But if you want to do it on the cheap then consider these categories of what to track:
