Les 5 du Vin: post on 1855

Château Branaire-Ducru, Saint-Julien: one of the many wines not delivered by 1855

Have posted an article on Les 5 du Vin that pulls together many of the sources of information about 1855 (1855.com).

Anonymous said...: Good article Jim.
1855.com calls itself ‘l'Hermès du vin’. Wikipedia says: "Hermes is an Olympian god & is also the patron of boundaries and of the travelers who cross them, of commerce in general AND of the cunning of thieves..."
A pretty complete god for 1855...; 21 December 2010 at 08:19
