Holds 204 of the wines you drank. Ideal for the seasoned wine enthusiast or the aspiring taster wanting to get a grip on their palate–perfect as a gift, be it birthday, anniversary, or graduation from L'academie du Vin.

The entire line of fresh and decidedly different books, by kooky/hip L.A. designer Pamela Barsky, feature wonderfully creative ideas.

A subtle guide for your personal wine review. Leave the binder behind and take just the evaluation sheet with you go out, say to a restaurant or dinner party, so you can begin documenting some or all of the details while they are fresh in your mind and palate. Later you can reflect on the experience, add to your review and then file your wine review for quick and easy reference when you need it.
