Paul B, have you seen this?

Paul needs to get down to Charlottesville and visit the Horton winery. Denis Horton is a character. He's usually around the place. If he and Paul get talking, they might end up like the characters in some Washington Irving story.

Thanks Ed. I've read about their Tannat but haven't tried it before. It should be interesting to compare alongside a good Madiran!
