A while back, I acquired this crucial tiki-bar-cum-office item: a wine list cover from Trader Vic’s. At the time, I announced my intention to use it to keep tasting notes, such as a classy P.G. Wodehouse-type character would do.
Well, I kept that promise to myself and have been diligently recording my impressions of every wine I sample, usually around the point where the liquid in the bottle reaches the one-quarter mark. Here are samples of my tasting notes:

And if that’s not tiki enough for you, I suggest you do your part to add to the level of both tiki and H.P. Lovecraft in the universe by backing this amazing Cthulhu tiki mug Kickstarter campaign.

I am vaguely disappointed that your handwriting doesn’t get messier and more chaotic with every tasting. I like wine logs that look like every entry was written in the same night.
Please. Each wine produces its own distinctive handwriting.
