If I'm going to be there (which I just may consider for this humble tasting) the 1975 will have to be 'in'.jdaw1 wrote:Even if we have the ‘small’ list of 106 Taylors, we can still lose the 1975.

Please explain the term "amigos" and who may hold status "mother superior" as you use it?! ( As referenced in your constitution)jdaw1 wrote:DRT wrote:That seems to be 3 confirmed attendees and a 144 bottle line-up.
Does that constitute a quorum?And then we was robbed! Only 106 Taylors. We will need that magnum of 1985.Article Sixteen of The Constitution of The Cambridge University Tiddlywinks Club wrote:A quorum shall be the number present.

Re: A complete vertical of 20th century vintages of Taylor
An ‘amigos’ is a down-in-one, with obvious meaning of the verb form.
And I don’t think that Article Thirty-two has yet been tested in court.

Re: A complete vertical of 20th century vintages of Taylor
Any thoughts about placemat design? This is the best I can do without my computer melting down whilst trying to generate the PDF, but it would require an A2 printer!

Come to Los Angeles and everyone will be your "amigo" and will give you a "mother superior" while releaving you of your wallet while pointing a "saturday night special" at youbenread wrote:

Placemats: use the GlassesOnSheets parameter to split the glasses over many A4 pages.

Re: A complete vertical of 20th century vintages of Taylor
Unfortunately, I couldn’t generate the contents of that parameter with a single regex, so I took the path of least resistance and substituted 2 for 4 in the /PaperType parameterjdaw1 wrote:Placemats: use the GlassesOnSheets parameter to split the glasses over many A4 pages.
Incidentally, there doesn’t seem to be an equivalent function to split the tasting notes over more than one sheet!

Re: A complete vertical of 20th century vintages of Taylor
I am definitely in on this one. Who is wearing the organisational hat? We definitely need a frame for this tasting. I am fully open to everything involved though not being able to contribute anything else than some connections to the house and all the following VPs.
T: 83, 85,92, 94, 97, 00 full and Mg., 03 half and full
T V V: 00
T TF: 88, 99, 05
T V: 91 Half and Full, 95, 96, 05
I suppose we keep it on our side of the ocean???

The vintages I listed above are located in the UK. Yes, this is a UK-located tasting.

Re: A complete vertical of 20th century vintages of Taylor
If this is turning into a serious attempt at organising a non-serious Taylor vertical, perhaps the non-serious attempt at organising a serious vertical ought to be split somewhere more appropriate?
On the serious point, is it worth baring in mind that there’s a Vargellas vertical in March and the ‟square” tasting in November, both of which might write-off quite a lot of mature Taylor bottles?

Hmm!hadn’t explored that one (and I’m afraid I can’t quite work out how that parameter works)!but glad to see that all eventualities are catered for!jdaw1 wrote:What about GlassesOnTastingNotePages?JacobH wrote:Incidentally, there doesn’t seem to be an equivalent function to split the tasting notes over more than one sheet!

This thread moved to Meaningless Drivel. Silliness in this thread thereby encouraged. But in the A Taylor vertical, quite large thread, strongly discouraged.
