New CT tasting note classification

WINE TALK
1

I label most of my consumed bottles as “drank from my cellar” and often as “consumed by a family member or spouse”, but I am going to propose a new category to Eric:

“Consumed while wasted, a total blur”

Any other categories we can suggest?

Love it!!!

I drank an '82 Mouton once so wasted. I have no idea how it tasted.

I love CT and endorse it highly [thankyou.gif] [welldone.gif] , so take the following in the positive spirit intended:

I think Eric has too many possibilities, like “drank from a friend’s cellar”. What is the rationale when I am removing a wine from “My Cellar”? Or the “Had a taste” option. What would be the thought process? “Had a taste, it was garbage, so I poured it out?” or, “Nah, too young; stuck the cork back in. Maybe in 2020. But since it’ll probably be spoiled by then, I’ll drop it from my cellar now”?

I do have one suggestion for an old favorite: “Missing AND presumed drunk.” It flows better.

I am generally opposed to adding more consumption types, but with each consumed bottle you can also record a 512 character, PRIVATE consumption note that is perfect for this. A public tasting note, not so much…

The “Had a taste” and “Drank from a friend’s cellar” were added somewhat under duress based on the fact that some people want to track every bottle that passes their lips, even if not from their own cellar. However they don’t necessarily want to add tasting notes.

On the serious side, “consumed by a family member or spouse” is what I use for:

“Consumed by others from my cellar”

So, for example, if I serve a bottle at a party but don’t drink any or not enough to form an impression (or in a condition where I’m not able to note my impression).

Mine was not on the serious side, btw.

Yeah, but you are conversing with Mr. What The Heck is Sarcasm??? :wink:

I think Eric is going to add: Consumed at the White House [cheers.gif]

Or is that consumed by the White House?
