Wine 2.0

I'm attempting to journal wines I've been enjoying and describing it/wine speak is still a challenge for me.   I'd like to jot some notes down during at-home tastings.  Can anyone recommend a good online wine tasting notes template?  

 

Thanks -

Hey Cristina,

My problem exactly...I found some small books cumbersome and easy to lose, then some of the online packages were way too numerous lines.

First, I would be remiss to not direct you to the Dummies, usually the most comprehensive.
Second, Got an idea of what you like well I know a great company that can devise up a proposal for you own specialized wine tasting notes at Lambodar, give them a call at 4088872918

Thirdly, I found online at Wine.com a great side sheet that I incorporated into an excel sheet and hence my tasting sheet.

Let me know if you need some more help.
This is a simple tasting sheet, that allows you to conceptualize certain factors of wine (aroma, taste, aftertaste, etc) on a scale to one to five. It's not comprehensive, by any means, but does set out for some easy tasting notes.

(Full disclosure: I work for this company. But really, it's more about helping out than about promoting a simple rating system.)

If you're looking for something a bit more comprehensive, you could start off using a simple tasting note template, while referencing something detailed like the UC Davis Wine Aroma Wheel. It helped me to have that around when I first started tasting wines, understanding what aromas were often present in wine and assigning them to certain wines I tasted. From there, I was able to make connections between different wines -- especially between those I liked and those I did not.
Patricia and Jolan:

Thank you so much for offering alternatives and suggestions for a Tasting Notes Template. Apologies for not having acknowledged it sooner.
