An introduction of sorts...

[hotwine]

Welcome,Tara. I think we all keep cellar books of some sort; some keep records of more than one type. For example, I have a database for recording bottle locations, date/place/price of purchase, tasting notes, etc. (it's called Cellar! by Collectware.) But I also still use an old cellar book, a looseleaf binder with sections for various regions of the wine-producing world, that duplicates much of the database information. It has sentimental value as a gift from a former exchange student that we hosted; but it's also useful now as a reference. And I also use a little pocket-sized address book to record reminders to purchase specific wines....it's used as a little wine-shopping book.

So yes, we do keep the types of records you're describing....
