Tea Life, Tea Mind Order Now

Nowhere is there a more profound recording of the liturgy of tea as practiced in the Japanese culture. The author is immanently qualified, being the 'Grand Teamaster of Japan' following more than a score of others in his lineage. The technical aspects are overshadowed by the personal involvement -- bonding -- with the practice. A wonder for me, an American, to participate vicariously in the deepest reflection of the virtues of Japanese culture. A bonus is the calligraphy that graces this little book -- full pages, stunning. This book inspired me to become the Teamaster of a Sangha.Get more detail about Tea Life, Tea Mind.

Lowest Price Wine for Women: A Guide to Buying, Pairing, and Sharing Wine

I found this book to be easy to use. It is very comprehensive in terms of the grape varietals it covers. I like that it gives some "context" into where the wines are grown, so even if you're unable to buy the exact wine mentioned in the book, you can use the information to select an alternative. Additionally, I enjoyed the fact that the author covers not only California or Europe vintages....but other countries and states as well.Get more detail about Wine for Women: A Guide to Buying, Pairing, and Sharing Wine.

Low Price The Wine Log: A Journal and Companion

Got this for my birthday. So far I like it but there are a few things I dont.

First let me say that the beginning of the book consists of information on tasting, smelling, reading labels etc.. It is only mildly helpful information.

The book is then divided into reds, whites, and sparkling wines. For me, it is difficult to find the section I want. The sections are not clearly marked throughout each section. I end up flipping through the book searching to find if I am in the whites or reds section. I wish they had color coded the edges of the pages, or even just noted what section you are in at the top of each page..something like that.

What is included on each page I think is just the right amount of information. The type of wine, winery, vintage, origin. Space for descriptions of the aroma/bouqet, color, flavor, and overall impression. There is also space for the date, price you paid, where you drank it, and whome you shared it with. It is true there is no room for wine labels, but I don't think it was meant for that, it is a smaller book, meant to be able to take to restraunts etc..

I agree with the previous reviewer, for a travel wine log, the size is a little awkward as it is just about too big to fit in my pocket comfortably. Usually my wife must put it in her purse. Overall I am happy. I think this is an excellent wine log for those who enjoy wine and have an interest in keeping track of the wines they have tasted. Probably is not detailed enough for the serious wine enthusiast. And as I said, the size is borderline too big for pocket travel. But I am keeping it and using it and enjoying itGet more detail about The Wine Log: A Journal and Companion.
