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).
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...
