TN wine journal for tasting notes, pairings and your cellar list

This TN wine journal keeps every glass worth remembering in one small place, inside the standard traveler's notebook (110 x 210 mm, 4.33 x 8.25 in). It brings detailed tasting pages, short notes, a wheel of aromas, pages for matching wine with food, a flight comparison, a cellar record, a wishlist and winery outings. Seven sheets with dashed cutting lines, crop corners and fold guides make 28 small pages. You get an instant PDF download for US Letter or A4 paper, and nothing is posted.

Print on both sides, trim, fold and staple it into a slim booklet. There are no dates, so start with the next bottle you open.

How the TN wine journal helps you taste with confidence

Learn an easy six step tasting routine, then reach for a wheel of 10 aroma families and a page of 40 aroma notes when you need words for what is in the glass. Each detailed tasting page asks about the bottle and who made it, where it is from, the grape, the year, what it cost and its type, then how it looks and smells, 1 to 5 scores for sweetness, acidity, tannin, body and alcohol, how it tastes, how long it lingers, the food it went with and stars. Short notes fit three wines on a page for a night at a bar or restaurant.

The cellar pages tell you what is in the rack and when it should be opened. The wishlist remembers who told you about each bottle, and the winery pages save the wines, the scenery and whatever you carried home. Print the tasting sheet again once it is full.

Who this wine insert is for

• Wine drinkers who already use a standard traveler's notebook or leather cover and want a wine insert to slip inside
• Curious beginners learning how to taste wine and how to put it into their own words
• Anyone with a rack or a small cellar who wants to know which bottles are home and when each should be opened
• Travelers who stop at wineries and want to recall the wines, the scenery and every bottle that came back with them
• Hosts of tasting evenings who want an easy flight page and a scorecard for the party

Design, sizes and printing

• Clean white pages, soft blush pink accents and very little ink needed
• Roomy margins all around, so a home printer will not trim anything away
• Landscape sheets for US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) or A4 (210 x 297 mm), each carrying two 110 x 210 mm pages with dashed cutting lines, crop corners and a fold guide in the middle
• No dates, so it works in any year
• A wine tasting theme set, separate from the PetiteDiary Traveler's Notebook Inserts (weekly, daily, travel journal and habit tracker)
• Print pages 3 through 16 a single time on both sides, set to flip on the short edge, at 100% and landscape, for the full 28 page booklet. Trim along the dashes, fold at the middle guides, stack the sheets inside each other and staple or sew through the fold. Print pages 7 and 8 again for 4 extra tasting pages, or 9 and 10 for more short notes
