Article about Quinta de la Rosa

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

The Oxford Wine Company have kindly given me permission to reproduce an article about Quinta de la Rosa from their Winter magazine. I've scanned the pages as JPEG files and posted them onto FlickR and hope that these can be downloaded and read. If not, let me know and I will email a copy of the article to you.

Alex,

I can't find a way to make the pictures any larger than they are in your post, and despite having very good eyes even I can't read those. :lol: Can you post links to the larger pictures?

By hitting the Quote button in AHB's post you can get the URL's that allow you to access the original images on flickr. I downloaded these and used a photo editor to zoom in on them but they are not high enough resolution to enable the text to be read.

AHB, perhaps you could set one of your children a special copy-typing project with a suitable reward so that you could reproduce the text here?

Great article!

That's an old picture of Sophia and her husband. :-) But they still run the Quinta themselves and Sophia is a very gracious hostess!
