The Wine Grapes book arrives by special delivery!

No wonder Wine Grapes by Jancis Robinson MW, Julia Harding and José Vouillamoz came by special delivery...

it weighs in@3.074 kilos or as there are 1368 vine varieties at 2.24 gms per grape variety

As I suggested on twitter yesterday the first variety I looked up was Meslier Saint François. Will be posting on this and more tomorrow.
