Wine Tasting Cheat Sheet

I describe myself as a hedonist when it comes to tasting wine. In wine tasting, being a hedonist doesn't mean that one is "a person who believes that the pursuit of pleasure is the most important thing in life" but simply that one either likes the wine or does not like the wine. But, if I plan to be "in the business" then I need to be more precise about how I describe a wine. So, I spent a few days coming up with a cheat sheet for myself that hopefully has enough descriptors so that I can appropriately convey what I am tasting. Here is what I came up with:
I showed my husband the cheatsheet and he said, "Let's try this out tonight". I wonder what kind of wine he will be pulling out of his stash. I'll report back with a filled in cheat sheet.
If you are interested in downloading this cheat sheet, click on the image then, click on the image again (Mac people, hold down "control" key and select "Open Image in New Tab"), then print/save to a PDF file. Happy tasting!
