For a .4 I think the number is 25. I used the convention recommended by Jamie Goode in The Science of Wine for the HowTo.

Good catch though, and thanks for giving me a chance to clarify.

I was looking at the other illustration... is a 0.5 inch hole correct? That illustration says to use a "paper hole reinforcer". The outside diameter of a reinforcer is certainly around 0.5 inch, but the hole itself is maybe 1/4 of an inch or so.Found a link: http://www.shoplet.com/office/db/UNV37102.htmlHope I'm not bursting any papillae, er, bubbles... - j Finally catching up with back blog reading… nice post, and, uh, picture.

I really put my all into photographing your fungiform papillae, and you don't even so much as mention my hard work and dedication to capturing your blue tongue before the paper dissolved. I think that being a super taster is going to your head. :) Bear – it really hurts my feelings when you don’t give me props for my super photography skills.

I dare you to take the fungiform papillae challenge!

I propose that all wine blogger should, and that we should have a big link fest talking all about who is a supertaster and who isn’t.

It's hilarious out of context...and it also means that I've "seen" your tongue up close...closer than I ever expected to, anyway.I want to try this now, but I'm afraid to. I remember failing a literal litmus test in junior high (I didn't taste the paper back then). Then again, I'm pretty sure I'm not a non-taster, so perhaps I should take the Fungiform Papillae challenge. Oh man, Josh, that’s got to be one of the most bizarre wine blog photos ever.
