5.0 out of 5 stars Great desk calendar that offers wine reviews, tidbits, and quotes., September 30, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The calendar is printed in black and white. It is printed on recycled paper so it's a little gray rather than white pages. You can use the back sides of the calendar pages to recycle for your own notes as well. The pages are matte finish. The frame is year is royal blue, last years was purple.

Each day has a fact about wine, varietals, a quote from someone famous about wine, suggested food and wine pairings, specific wine producers, and then trivia questions. It's quite cute and would be make a nice gift for the wine lover.

Nevertheless it is what it says it is. If you like Ms. MacNeil's style then I would suggest her book The Wine Bible for more authoritative wine knowledge.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wine trivia and food/wine pairings, quotes, it's all there., December 26, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The calendar is printed in black and white. I had thought by the description it would be in color but it is not. It is printed on recycled paper so it's a little gray rather than white pages. You can use the back sides of the calendar pages to recycle for your own notes as well. The pages are matte finish.

Each day has a fact about wine, varietals, a quote from someone famous about wine, suggested food and wine pairings, specific wine producers, and then trivia questions. It's quite cute and would be make a nice gift for the wine lover.

However, if you can find a calendar that looks a little nicer than this one, I'd buy it instead. Nevertheless it is what it says it is.
