Your Tasting Library

Your tasting library is every note you've saved, in one searchable place. The structure you put in while tasting comes back out here: anything you recorded — an aroma, a region, a dinner companion, a tag — is a way of finding the note again.

The library's search expands from a single button into an inline field, and it reads deep: wine names and wineries, regions, aromas and flavors, characteristics, tags, ingredients and recipes, the text of your notes, tasting partners, people, even the stemware. Type what you remember about the evening; the library does the cross-referencing.

The library's most particular trick: tap an aroma chip on any note's row and choose Search by aroma — the library narrows to every note carrying that descriptor, and the matching chips pulse across the rows so you can see why each note qualified. Aroma criteria stack, so "everything where I found white pepper and dried cherry" is two taps, not a saved search.

For structured questions, the filter panel works across categories — detail level and note format, date, location, occasion, tasting partners, winery, wine, vintage, and region (including its sub-regions) — plus how completely a given section was recorded. Criteria combine under Match All or Match Any, so the same controls answer both "notes from that Piedmont trip with Marco" and "anything from either of these two producers."

Beyond the default ordering, the library sorts by Tasting Date, Location Name, Occasion Name, Winery Name, Wine Name, Wine Vintage — or by density: Number of Descriptors + Details and Number of Aromas + Flavors, which surface your most thorough notes first. Page size runs from five to thirty rows.

Each row carries the note's essentials and two actions: Show Tasting Note, which opens the full note in the viewer — its cards mirroring the builder's sections — and Go to Wine, which jumps to the wine's own page. A winery affordance on the row searches that producer's other wines in Curate.

The viewer respects visibility: your personal material stays yours, and public reviews read as others see them. See Saving, Visibility & Guest Preview.

The library distinguishes its silences: a search with no hits, filters that exclude everything, and a brand-new library each get their own guidance rather than one generic empty screen. A new library's is the simplest — it points you at your first note. See Your First Tasting Note.

A tasting library compounds. The searches that feel like parlor tricks at ten notes — by aroma, by dinner guest, by how completely you assessed the palate — become the actual way you use Curate at three hundred. Record what you notice, and the library holds it until the night you need it.
