Wine Tasting Journal

I created this wine tasting journal because living in California my husband and I enjoy a nice glass of wine from time to time. We sometimes visit the local wineries and are starting to learn a few things about the wines grown here and elsewhere. We decided it would be nice to track the wines we taste and keep a log of different things about them. This is a simple wine journal that you can make yourself to track your own wine tasting journey.

I used the Bind-It-All binding machine to bind my book, but you can certainly bind it in other ways as well, such as with ribbons, rings, etc.

Supplies:
1 set of 7.5 x 5 Zutter Bind it All chipboard covers or similar
2 pieces of 12 x 12 decorative scrapbooking paper to cover chipboard covers
Several sheets of the wine tasting PDF printouts (printed on heavy cardstock is best)

Directions:
Cover your two pieces of chipboard with decorative scrapbooking paper by cutting two pieces of scrapbook paper to 9-1/2 x 7-1/2. Adhere to one side of the chipboard.

Cut the corners at an angle and fold all the sides in. Adhere down.

Trim another piece of scrapbook paper to cover the rest of the cover.

Repeat for other cover.
Print out the wine tasting PDF sheets onto heavy cardstock and cut to 5 x 7-1/2. When putting together the journal pages, put your pages face down rather than face up. This will give you the blank page opposite for additional notes and journaling as well as a place to put your wine label if you are interested. Bind your journal with your Bind It All or whatever you are using.

I love collecting wine labels and have found Un-Du to be the best thing to get the labels off in one piece.

You will have a blank page as the opening in your journal. I just collaged some wine labels and ephemera here. You could also date the journal - wines tasted from so and so date to so and so date.

I used my new Cricut to make Wine Journal lettering for the front cover.
