Customer Reviews

Ordering another
I love this calendar. I am ordering my second edition. It has so many nice tips and facts and new wines for me to explore. It also has fun quotes and wine recipies.

Great desk calendar that offers wine reviews, tidbits, and quotes.
The calendar is printed in black and white. It is printed on recycled paper so it's a little gray rather than white pages. You can use the back sides of the calendar pages to recycle for your own notes as well. The pages are matte finish. The frame is year is royal blue, last years was purple.

Each day has a fact about wine, varietals, a quote from someone famous about wine, suggested food and wine pairings, specific wine producers, and then trivia questions. It's quite cute and would be make a nice gift for the wine lover.

Nevertheless it is what it says it is. If you like Ms. MacNeil's style then I would suggest her book The Wine Bible for more authoritative wine knowledge.
