Aaron, Funny thing- I own a new wine shop on west 20th in Chelsea, just opened a month ago in fact. Store is called Back Label Wine Merchants. Anyways, I came across your post on Cousin Oscar from Rimbert. We just got in the new vintage and im scouring the web for some more detailed information than what I already know about the wine. It too am a big fan. Great post by the way. Just wanted you to know we enjoyed it!
Thank you so much. I wish I had more on the Cousin Oscar for you. But its always a balance between historic research, researching about contemporary bottles, and well, drinking them!

Hello everyone.
They are a small grower mountain in Italy – piedmont.
I’m experiencing some old varieties of grapes including corbeau also called Charbono.
I wish I could buy a few bottles of very Charbono grapes.
Someone can help me?
Excuse me for my bad English …
May I use your reproduction of the image “Escribientes y ordenanzas del 2 Batallon del Regimiento de Cuba” (December 17, 2014) in an upcoming book?
I am writing an article for the Maryland Historical Society on Baltimore Rainwater Madeira and early wine making in Maryland. In your “The Early Grapes and Wines of Maryland and New York,you quote Giovanni di Pier Andrea di Bernardo da Verrazzano on page “We saw in this country many vines growing.etc”. I’d like your permission to reprint this in my MHS article.
Sidney, Thanks so much for reaching out to me. Of course you have my permission. Could you reach out to me at info@hogsheadwine.com? I’d like to hear more about your article. Best, Aaron
I see you have reproduced the officers mess cartoon, is that free to use or subject to crediting an agency etc…?
thanks
