Tastenotes

Personalized for your flight

A printable tasting booklet for whatever you’re pouring this weekend.

Pick from 10 categories — wine, whiskey, beer, coffee, cocktails, cheese, olive oil, hot sauce, chocolate, tea — and paste in 3 to 8 items you’re pouring. We build a printable booklet with an illustrated cover for your category, a how-to-taste cheatsheet, one double-spread per item with appearance / nose / palate / finish prompts, tear-off ballots, and a winner certificate. $5 flat, delivered in under 60 seconds, no subscription, no account.

For adults of legal drinking age where applicable.

A painted still life of five tasting glasses in a row, pale gold to deep ruby, with a pencil and a blank scorecard on a wooden table.

Built around YOUR bottles

The items you type in are printed verbatim on each spread header. The tasting vocabulary is category-general; the tasting notes are yours to add.

Instant, not three-day Etsy

Etsy custom tasting cards ship in 2–4 days. Tastenotes delivers in under 60 seconds — useful when book club starts at seven and you just got home.

Ten categories, one shape

Wine, whiskey, beer, coffee, cocktails, cheese, olive oil, hot sauce, chocolate, tea. Each gets its own illustrated cover and a category-general vocabulary cheatsheet tuned to your audience level.

Ballots and a winner certificate

Every booklet ends with tear-off ballot cards (one per taster) and a printable winner certificate. Pour, score, crown, done.

How it works

  1. 1. Pick the category & enter items. Choose wine, whiskey, coffee, etc. Paste 3–8 items — the bottle name plus anything you remember (region, vintage, price).
  2. 2. Pay $5. One checkout, no account, no subscription, no follow-up emails.
  3. 3. Print and pour. The PDF lands in your inbox in about a minute. Print it, hand it out, let the tasting run itself.

What’s this actually good for?

Book club wine flights. Bachelor whiskey nights. Side-by-side coffee comparisons for a Saturday morning. Cheese-and-wine evenings. A neighborhood hot-sauce shootout. Three olive oils your in-laws sent and you need to actually compare. Anywhere a structured tasting beats “everyone just drink whatever.”
