GREAT ARTICLE……….
BONJOUR SPARKS AND SPARKY,
I love collecting article , especially about wine ( laugh and giggle….).
Last year , in the “Australian”,I came across that article written by Caroline Overington .
Just a fantastic story about collecting Penfold Grange Hermitage from 1951 to 1986.
In the early 1980, Carol-Ann Martin didn’t have a cellar , she was putting everything under the bed and inside the wardrobe……
How good is that !!!!!than they moved to an house with a proper cellar.
Chief winemaker Mr. Peter Cago from Penfolds, was hosting a “recorking clinic ,which mean anyone owning a bottle of Penfolds red that’s over 15 years old can have them assessed.
By the way a 1951 Grange is valued at $50.000.Can you imagine opening a bottle of 1951……………
Loving wine ,it’s all about sharing your own experience.
I love the comment of Mr Cago regarding 1953 Grange ,” But if there were a wine that I’d take into a dark corner and keep to myself , it will be this one.
Thank you so much for that very special article.
