Winophite,
I'm a fine one to talk as I haven't made an electronic database of my notes except by posting here and on WLDG. However, CellarTracker and other software programs can help you organize a wine tasting database. I believe such programs offer the ability to search by producer's name, geographic name (Carneros, Napa, Volnay, Sancerre, Tuscany, etc.) and by grape variety if you record that. http://www.cellartracker.com/intro.asp

(I have no commercial interest in CellarTracker or any other wine software.)

Many of my notes are on 3" x 5" recipe cards but filing is a problem. I have dividers for California, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Italy, etc. but then wonder whether to keep most recent to the front, file by producer, or keep Zinfandels together, Pinot Noirs together, etc. That's where a good electronic database could help--searching by different categories depending on need.
