This review is from: Wine Spectator's Complete Wine Tasting Kit (Paperback)
This wine kit is an excellent gift to give to anyone you know who's a wine connassieur! It came with two books and everything else you needed for a blind taste test for a few people. At my Valentine's Day party, I hosted a wine tasting of several wines bought while vacationing in the Caribbean last year. The checklist was great for recording information. Everyone took their lists home so that they wouldn't forget the names of the wines and would remember to pick them up next time they're in the Caribbean.
