Wine Journal

A Companion for Wine Lovers

by Brian St. Pierre

Wine is a simple pleasure meant to be enjoyed and remembered, and sipping a good glass often inspires thoughtful analysis of its complex qualities.  However, even the most memorable wines can be lost in an indistinguishable haze with the exhaustive array of options available. Brian St. Pierre has a solution with Wine Journal: A Companion to Wine Lovers, a keepsake sure to become a staple guide and aid for your wine-tasting endeavors. Pierre provides simple steps for evaluating and recording wine—noting the importance of identifying the flavor, aroma, color and clarity of wine—to serve as references for future experiences. The journal offers information describing varietals of red, white, and blush wine, including their origin, reputation and flavor, so that you can specifically address the sensorial properties that make the wine appealing. The helpful knowledge and information from Pierre will develop an organized category of experiences to which you can refer during your next wine encounter.
