Wasn't there a vintage pressed by Israeli tanks or something?
I believe the anecdote Serge told was from 1983 but the vintage involved was not...

1984, when they used a white flag on the lorry? I believe very small vintage because of war.

I am fortunate to have a bottle of the 1984 in the cellar. I think there were only a thousand cases made, and only released a few years ago. Due the the troubles the grapes had started fermenting early in delayed transport, so it apparently it has a port like nature to this vintage. I am very much looking forward to opening it one day to see if this is the case.
But this is not the vintage in question...

Well done Mike! You have the dubious honour of the next quiz.

thankfully no, not the timpani!Re: One quiz at a time
Posted: 18:53 Sat 04 Mar 2017
Well, then I learned something new today. Timpani spelled with a "y" is the old fashion way of spelling it. However, I am an old fashion guy.

OK, I'll take the bullet; violin.

Harpsichord?
Re: One quiz at a time

Piano, but that is probably too mundane.
Re: One quiz at a time

No and no.
Perhaps a small clue would help?

A clue would most definitely help!
In the meantime... Clarinet?

Flute? (Which is obviously correct, so I’d better prepare a question.)
Re: One quiz at a time
Posted: 00:26 Sun 05 Mar 2017
Not clarinet.
Not flute.
A clue. Getting a place in an orchestra would be easier, playing this instrument, as opposed to many others.

The clue should narrow it down to one of two, depending on strings or wind. I shall ponder overnight...

Viola?
Re: One quiz at a time

Yes indeed! The clue was a bit too useful I think
Your question.

Thank you.
Outside our house we have a large tree. What tree is it?

No natural oak where I live, and the tree in question is not planted.

A spruce?
Re: One quiz at a time

Yew?
Re: One quiz at a time
Posted: 14:32 Sun 05 Mar 2017
Could easily have been a Norway spruce, but it is a decidous tree.
Re: One quiz at a time
Posted: 14:33 Sun 05 Mar 2017
So not yew.

It is a favourite food for beavers.
We had 3 large trees growing 5 - 6 meters from the house, and one night 20 years ago, 2 fell at the teeth of beavers. Luckily they fell away from the house.
So now there is only one left.

I have since returned to the Amsterdam City Archives and discovered the meaning of the two price columns (e.g., ƒ7,20 versus ƒ9,25).A draft of The Book, since superseded, wrote:1945 Andresen: De Nederlandse Wijnkoperij, of Amsterdam, Nijmegen, and ’s-Hertogenbosch, in July 1962, lists “Porto Andresen Vintage 1945”. Two prices are given, ƒ7,20 and ƒ9,25, but regrettably the author’s photograph of the page failed to include the column titles.
What do the two price columns mean?
