3.0 out of 5 stars Guess you have to have a wine cellar, December 22, 2003

By A Customer

I bought this journal as a gift to my parents who enjoy wine but can never remember which ones they've had and how to find them again. The description states there's room to save labels - where? The pages offer a little too much detail - such as stock records (for those that have an abundance of wine on hand in their cellars). I was looking for something a bit more "informal" so they could jot down notes about the wine, where they bought it, where they enjoyed it and with whom, or for what occasion) and space to paste the label. This book did not fit the bill. I'll keep looking... I will say that it's sturdy for a spiral bound and appears to be well made.

2.0 out of 5 stars not what I expected, November 10, 2005

By	Annie Heller (New York, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Like another reviewer stated, this book does not have room to paste wine labels. Also, most of this book is for recording cellar notes. This is not what I expected. I will keep searching for a book that has room for me to record notes on wine and a place to paste labels.

2.0 out of 5 stars Get a notepad. Same Thing, June 19, 2008

By	Creative Guy (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

Just because it has a fancy cover does not make it functional. A yellow notepad from Office Depot works just as well. Spend your money on the wine, not this cover designed to make people who want to buy a give for a wine person think they are doing something nice.
