More dicklefrick from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. Cotes de Duras??? Of course I know where that be!!....Not.
Saw this AC & wondered "where's that"?? It's an AC 40 mi to the East of the city of BDX. Located on the SE edge of the general Bdx AC. Some of this producer's vnyds lie in Bdx, but most in the Cotes de Duras.
