Conventions Used on this
Website
NO DEAD ENDS
"Tab" buttons leading to each major section of PfW appear at the top of every page, along with our Site
Search Box. Additionally, near
each page bottom, there is a "Top" button to jump back up.
Where it makes sense, "Previous" and "Next" buttons allow you to flip
through the site in our suggested order, like a book. Some
pages (such as this one) have links to other pages within the same
section, beneath the section "tabs". If the background blends into the
page (such as "SPONSORS"
or "WHO & WHAT"),
these links "jump" to articles on the same page;
the links with darker backgrounds switch to another page.
Regarding links within
the text, those to external pages open in "new" windows;
simply close the window to return. Most internal links
open in the original window. (To return from these
reference links, use the "Back" button at the top of your
browser window.) Some Vincyclopedia links open in their
own windows; just close when you're through
reading.
Within
articles, numbered superscript notation links take you to
notes at the bottom of the page being viewed and the
notes have a red BACK
link to return you to your place in the text (try the
example in the next paragraph).
FRESHNESS DATING
Each page is dated at either the bottom1 or top (links pages),
so the reader can tell how recently additions, changes, or updates
have been made.
There are
e-mail
links on many pages, should you wish to comment, notify us of errors, or ask
for additional or better explanations. We welcome your
input. Suggestions from our readers are a great help to
us, to answer questions, make our content more easily
understood, or make this site easier to use.
Who We
Are and What
We Do
We are a group of wine
lovers. Most of us are connected to wine as either a grape
grower, merchant, or
restaurateur.
While our individual wine experience varies, our
collective wine experience spans decades. Since we enjoy
each other's company and respect each other's palates, we
gather monthly to "blind" taste,
describe, and rate
half a dozen wines.
Although we are
professionals, anyone can try this at home. We
encourage you and your friends to see how much fun
tasting wine can be. Pop those corks and join
us.....Cheers!
Our Support
Last listed, but first in our hearts,
our
PfW Sponsors. (Where we
would be very happy to add you or your company...)
