Wine Journal Flavor Wheel

Wine Journal FAQs: How big is it relative to my pants pocket?

How big is it?

33 Wines is pocket-sized. It's just 3.5 inches wide by 5 inches tall, about the size of an index card, and at about 1/8" thick, it's 25% thinner than an iPhone. Take that, Steve Jobs! A book fits perfectly in the pocket of a pair of jeans.

Is this thing water ... er ... wine-proof?

Sadly, no. It is printed on really nice recycled paper with hand-set type printed with American-grown and -made soy ink, though. And, don't tell anyone, but there's actually a little bit of Cabernet in the ink. A finer notebook has never been spilled on or in.

Wine Journal FAQS: Is it Printed with Real Wine in the Ink?

Is there really wine in the ink?

There sure is. It's a 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon from Grande Ronde Cellars in Spokane, Washington (Designation: Walla Walla, Washington). The winery is partly-owned by an uncle of Sarah (33 Wines creator Dave Selden's wife), and we like to keep it in the family.
