Auction, Christie, Manson & Woods, 25 September 1974. And such a modest quantity.

The same sale had large quantities of other Feuerheerd vintages, and of Quinta do Sibio.

Interesting; I don't think I've seen *any* bottles of Warre crusted to date...

Only another 40 years to photograph Julian. What happens then? Visits to Sotheby's commence?

No. Sotheby’s has nothing like the same records. When I have typed up to 1977, I might be done.

† A few things need re-photographing. So there might be one more day of picture-taking, perhaps to the early 1980s. Then definitely done.

I hope his tour of the extant cellar books of the Big Houses of Ireland commences. With amanuensis.

No. There is enough data; the book needs to be written.

Yes, very interesting indeed. I can't imagine seeing a memorandum like this (with its fairly objective tone) accompanying a modern sale, where the emphasis is so clearly on hyperbole.
