Hmmn - An Interesting notice from The Deranged Contrary Facetious Pedant Mr B. keep an eye for an O at WR. Glad I deferred on other models. This one could be in my store for a wee while. There is a johny called Walker in there as well, mind you if Olly S says it's like a fanta thru a water pistol - R U giving it a go

What's the conundrum? To buy or not? Why Polish? - it's Polish Hill. |

Yet another childish association of words. Pseudo Irish, Polish, Alsace, Oz, in one wine name that leapt out of the page at me. I shall go and birch myself with a tomato stalk. |

No need to birch thyself - even with MSB tasting notes it's Polish alright Do ya think there is a river there ? Typical Oz name. Or is it an invented glamorous wine name ? Glastonbury Tor River, ...Oh yeah I don't see much of a river there Cultural licence - River ?

Ha! I see from your insert that it is also in the State District of "Frome", and the Federal Division of "Wakefield". Curiouser and curiouser... |

Yes Ba, it's rather bizarre. Geographicaly an odd choice of town and place names. One should be very careful to avoid the old buffer Brit tease, and assume that folks had good memories of their Ole Blighty roots. Back to the wine - I do fancy laying a few down to develop. I'm not sure about the term 'Outragous' in the notes, but then it may be a very good candidate for becoming rather elegant with time. An interesting leap out of the page Mr B. |
