Re: Tuesday 26th March 2019: DRT's Annual Elixir Tasting
It might actually be chance for my first meeting. Can I be placed as a reserve for the time being?

Re: Quinta do Vesuvio Box Vertical, 13th FEB 2019
That is a very nice looking case. Quite jealous right now.

Re: Level detector?
Where would the bottle be needed? University of Sussex, near Brighton. I think maybe I should just put the effort in to attend a tasting in London, and ask someone to bring in a bottle then... So if all goes well, we just have to mount the laser table in some form of portable unit like a backpack w...

Re: Level detector?
I think the most impressive part of this experiment is that you happened to have a bottle of Tokaji lying around in that lab 88) :FFCC66: Us quantum computing folk have better taste than the rest of physics. I would like to next try some light based methods but I don't have a bottle dark enough. If...

Re: Level detector?
As I'm approaching the last few months of my PhD, what better idea than to procrastinate trying to make a level sensor? A quick description of the setup. In this experiment, we are measuring the level of the water in the beaker off to the right. As I couldn't be bothered to hook up a motorised senso...

Re: Level detector?
I'm afraid it wasn't a level detector - it was for checking water contamination - effectively an electric field sensor. As for how you could detect the levels... Depending on the type of glass, some spectrum of infra-red might be able to pass through glass, but struggle through the wine. Another opt...

Re: The Book, ‘Port Vintages’, is for sale
Just received mine in Brighton. Seems to be a very thorough affair!

Re: 1993 - A hunt
I hereby declare the opening of the Misfortune Club!
I actually don't have much else in terms of '93 (or any space left to store things). I've been looking at trying to get some sweet wines - I've heard Royal Tojaki is very good for our vintage, if not quite expensive.

Funny you should say that Andy. I believe that is the first place I saw it!!Andy Velebil wrote: ↑18:26 Tue 04 Dec 2018 Just don’t buy it from this place in Porto. The price tag washed out with the flash but it reads 999 Euros!

Re: 1993 - A hunt
Ah, very interesting! Did they have anymore? Is the '93 club a thing, because I would buy all of their things. Working for a Wine Merchant all the '93 stuff lands on my desk first :lol: Maybe we should start the '93 club :) I'm afraid the place didn't have anymore. I imported it from a Portuguese v...

Re: Hello from Brighton
Oh excellent. I haven’t solved (the simplest case of) Schrödinger’s equation for three decades, but that was enough to respect those dealing with complicated cases. Is there some physical limit on isolation? Does quantum tunnelling itself prevent anything ever being isolated? Questions for after so...

Re: Hello from Brighton
Hello and welcome. Physics PhD: where? And please say more, as we have some scientists here. Liceiras 1993 is very very rare, and has become expensive, far in excess of its likely merits. Just FYI. And do sign on to a tasting — we are very friendly. I'm doing a PhD in quantum computation with trapp...

Re: 1993 - A hunt
Join the '93 club! I've been very fortunate to be able to get a bottle from '93 (quinta das liceiras) - to give you a heads up, I paid £200 for it a few months back.

Hello from Brighton
Hi, I've been a member on FTLOP for sometime now and saw Julian talking about TPF so I thought I would join. Seems like a good place for some UK meetups which I will endeavor to attend! As for me, I'm an unlucky '93 kid (but have managed to get the Quinta Das Liceiras '93) and I'm in my final year o...
