You can save as many of these grids as you wish. Each becomes a named "View" which you can recall at any time. You can also request a report at any time. It will exactly correspond to the grid being displayed. This provides a simple, but unusually powerful, custom reporting capability. Note the row of buttons along the top. They allow you to bring up other windows which display the full tasting note, price file data or other information based upon the wine (row in the table) and/or the wine characteristic (column in the table) you are focused on at any particular time (here the focus is on the bottle size of the 1989 Petrus as indicated by the darker border around its cell). As you move about from row to row or column to column in the table the contents of each of these other windows will change automatically. You can click on several of the buttons, if you wish, to be taken to other pages that explain the windows they bring up. If you maintain a visual cellar, you can "Query" your cellar based upon any wine characteristic, such as the Parker rating. Both the bottles in your visual cellar and the rows in the corresponding wine table will be colorized based upon the characteristic you choose. This sample shows only a few of the columns which are available. You can "flip" the table so that you see only one wine at a time but can view most, if not all, of its characteristics, as shown below.
