And I&#8217;ve had the good fortune to have been treated to and enjoyed some very wonderful wines with close friends.<\/p>\n<p>The trouble is that I&#8217;m not real good about remembering all of the great tasting wines that I&#8217;ve pleasured &#8211; at least not off the top of my head. At first this was troublesome for me as I struggled to recall the names and vintages. I often jotted the wine info on the back of a paper napkin and collected them in the pocket of my suit coat. Then I&#8217;d forget about the wine tasting notes until the next time I wore that suit and stuck my hand in the pocket.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nIt wasn&#8217;t long until I found a way to help my memory. I started to carry a small camera to dinner. As the bottles of wine made their way to our table, I would take a snapshot of the bottles. This proved to be a handy way to extend the range of my memory. Not only did I capture the wine&#8217;s name and vintage, the camera also recorded the date (exif data) on which I had the tasting. Often I&#8217;d also snap some of the great food that accompanied the wine. It turned out to be a great way to recall not only the dinner and wine but also the friends with whom I dined.<\/p>\n<p>I think you can see how my tasting note scheme works.
