Hugh Barton bought/founded Leoville-Barton in 1826 and was the brother of Banjo's great-grandfather Charles - Banjo's great-great uncle I guess? Thomas would have been Banjo's great-great-great Grandfather and was in the wine trade (notably forming Barton which turned into Barton & Guestier) bu...

Re: Interesting Wine Facts and Trivia
Yeah the great-grandfather claim doesn't appear to be true - they seem to have a common ancestor, William Barton, but it splits out quite a bit from there; William Barton 1723-1793 Hugh Barton 1766-1854 Nathaniel Barton 1799-1867 Bertram Francis Barton 1830-1904 Bertram Hugh Barton 1858-1927 Derick ...

I think middle yellow cap is Andre Perret, doesn't really look like a Hospice label to me but could be wrong

Re: Best NZ/AUS Chardonnay & Pinot Noir Offline - Fri 13 Oct
We had the standard 'Estate' Chardonnay, is around $38 or so. Other than a weird and wrong 2014 Chardonnay, I've not had anything from them that wasn't good. Pinot Noir is well worth a look and they did a straight Pinot Meunier in 2014 that I really enjoyed too. Not been to their CD, but I definite...

Re: Tyrrell's 2016 White Release
Nice work. I got to go to the 6pm session and mostly align with your comments - didn't really like the Vat63 and I was a little less enthusiastic about the Belford (still liked it though) but otherwise spot on.

I got a pair but I'll probably bring the 2013 Les Chamois du Paradis as I haven't tried that vineyard before.
