Re: Tasting Notes Section
The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, Edward R. Tufte, costing a mere $25.20, and cheap at twice the price. (Costing £26 at .co.uk: buy it in the USA.)

Re: Tasting Notes Section
I think 10, 20, 30, 40 is a natural progression that one would find in any wine list. I think the contrast between that at date order for VPs is entirely acceptable and apropriate. So you want VPs oldest-to-youngest, but tawnies youngest-to-oldest. OK. Is that the consensus? And yes, Tufte is excel...

Saw that. Had already decided that it needed work — but precluded by baby-sitting.
If we’re down to squabbling about poll colours, does that mean it can become the default style.

Re: Too Young to Drink?
Sure, 1994s might be good to drink today. I’ll vote yes. Wrong question. But if 1994s will be much better later, one should wait. There should be a small number of experimental bottles, just to check whether one should be drinking them. But to have regular drinking of one’s stock 1994s better than O...

Re: Tasting Notes Section
Small bug in both indexes, to be fixed when next updated. They are sorted by the year field, in ascending order. So 1900 comes before 1927. So far, so good: oldest first. But this also means that “10Y† comes before “20Y†, so tawnies are youngest first. Ooops. Extra code will be added.

Re: in defense of Port
Anything that tastes like Fonseca 1966 should have a legal right to call itself Port. The only country making such a thing is, err, Portugal. The end.

If they have any more of the RP85 at ┰¤$30 a bottle, I’ll take a few cases.

Re: One man's indexes are another man's indices...
IT often uses plurals and past tenses containing the root (often the third-person imperative). Any postscript programmer would be happy to use the term un bind ed (source shown coloured) (e.g., here ), just as a database might have one index or several index es. Standard IT word formation. This word...

Re: Tasting Notes Section
Both announcements, and also the format thread. Meanwhile, we drink more eighty-fives than any other year. We also over-consume 2000s and 1994s, which are far too young. 75 Ã 1985 61 Ã 2000 57 Ã 1994 54 Ã 1977 47 Ã 1970 45 Ã 1963 34 Ã 1983 31 Ã 1966 31 Ã 1995 30 Ã 1991 29 Ã 1997 26 Ã 198...

Re: One man's indexes are another man's indices...
If an index is a number summarising some larger set of data, I think its plural is “indices†: “The various UK retail price indices are climbing swiftly†. If an index is a list or table pointing into a larger set of data, I think its plural is “indexes†: “Tasting notes for individual Ports, with a...

Slightly tricksy to colour just the Go buttons. Easier to do all buttons of that format, or none.

Announcements are more important. They appear above stickies, and appear at the top of every page (go to page 3 of the TNs).
