Four sections finish a tasting note: what the wine met at the table, what you want to say about it in prose, the tags that make it findable your way, and the pictures. All four appear at every detail level, and — as everywhere in the builder — all four are optional.
Food Pairings
The Food Pairings section records the table in two grains:
Ingredients — up to eight chips for what mattered on the plate: the duck, the morels, the aged gouda. Autocomplete keeps your spellings consistent across notes.
Recipes — up to eight named dishes, each with a little more to say: the pairing's character — Complementary, Congruent, or Both — whether you actually tried the combination, and, if you did, how it went, on a five-step scale from Poor to Perfect. The pairing-character choice becomes available once a tried pairing scores well — a dish that fought the wine doesn't need a theory attached.
There is no recipe link field; a recipe is recorded by name, not by URL.
Personal Notes and the Public Review
Two long-form fields, deliberately separate:
Personal Notes — yours alone, never shown to anyone else. The honest margin notes: what it reminded you of, what you'd do differently, who'd love it.
Public Review — the prose you're willing to put your name to, shown with your note where members encounter the wine.
Each runs to 4,096 characters with a live counter — room for a real review, not a caption. How visibility works, and who sees what: Saving, Visibility & Guest Preview.
Tags
Up to eight free-form tags per note, with autocomplete drawn from the tags you've used before. Tags are your own filing system laid over Curate's structure — cellar candidates, tuesday wines, gifts for Ana — and the library can search and filter by them. See Your Tasting Library.
Photos
The Photos editor opens as a focused overlay: the bottle, the label, the glass against the tablecloth. A label photo in particular earns its keep — it settles later arguments about designations and vintages that memory always loses. Photos arrive as PNG or JPEG, up to 10 MB each, with a built-in crop and edit step; on a phone, the same control offers the camera directly.
Where This Fits
Ingredients, recipes, notes, and tags each have their place on the summary cards, with the full editors in the Editor Panel; Photos opens as its own overlay from the builder. See How the Tasting Note Builder Works for the mechanics.
