Notes du Vin aka proof of my bourgeois status
My notes started off very minimal, and as I tasted more, I learned what it was I wanted to record and remember. So the Chianti notes are barely existant, while the Zinfandel notes are detailed. At the bottom of the page is a key to the notation I use.
~~Chianti Toscolo / Chianti 2001
~~Cabernet Sauvignon Robert Mondavi / Private Reserve / Cabernet Sauvignon 2001
~~Sauvignon/Fume Blanc Robert Mondavi / Private Reserve / Fume Blanc 2002
~~Zinfandel (red) Joel Gott / Zinfandel 2002 Peachy Canyon / Westside / Zinfandel 2000
Notation:
The title of a wine I write as such: winery / (label subset/location) / type of wine, year
Under the title, I write: date opened (m/d/y), price I bought it for (in parentheses is the original price if it was on sale), store I bought it from
Dry/acidic/body/bitter: I rate these elements on a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being nonexistent, 10 being incredibly present. For sugar content, it is either (dry / off-dry / sweet).
Symbols: Different symbol before a statement means different things. - denotes an element of tasting. : denotes a random note/observation. --> denotes my overall opinion/impression of the wine.
