There's a funky little feature of the JR.com homepage: assuming you are not signed in to the site, there is a tally of articles and tasting notes which updates automatically. At the time of writing, it says there are 8,970 articles and 67,343 tasting notes. A bumper 83 of those articles were added this March, along with 1,692 tasting notes.
