Taste with intention. Keep what you learn. Cellar Notes is a private, structured wine tasting journal for people who want to practice sensory assessment and remember every wine they try. A focused guided flow moves from appearance through nose, palate, and conclusion without turning the experience into a dense form. STRUCTURED, NOT OVERWHELMING Record appearance, aroma, structure, flavor, finish, quality, readiness, confidence, enjoyment, and whether you would buy the wine again. Grouped tasting vocabulary, search, and custom descriptors keep common choices quick while leaving room for your own words. TASTE BLIND Hide the wine’s identity while you assess it, then reveal and add the bottle details at the end—or keep the entry as a blind record. NEVER LOSE YOUR PLACE Progress is saved as a clearly marked draft. Leave a tasting, return later, and resume from the same section. A USEFUL HISTORY Search completed tastings by wine, producer, grape, country, or region. Filter by category, rating, and buy-again decision, then sort by date, rating, or name. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No social feed. No analytics. No advertising. Your records and selected bottle photos are stored locally, and the complete tasting workflow works offline. Cellar Notes is an independent journal using general sensory-assessment concepts. It is not official, approved, certified, or affiliated with any educational body.
