CorkReport on BarboursvilleVnyds

As linked on WineTerroirist, there's a very inteesting article
CorkReport/Barboursville
by AaronMenenberg on BarboursvilleVnyds.

Mostly (alas) the focus is on the Barboursville Octogon CabFranc. But it did like the Barborsvilly Nebbiolo quite a lot. The few btls of it I've tried I've thought pretty good.

But a nice/interesting writeup on VA's 2'nd best wnry. We've had reports direct from the WhiteHouse which wnry is the best.

Their Cab Franc is excellent. I bought some when the (UK) Wine Society listed it in 2014, and the Octagon is super, I've had it at the winery but Octagon is a Bdx blend in which CF plays a subordinate role
