I’ve been meaning to do this for a while and now that my son doesn’t have mini rugby on a sunday morning for a while and there is some time I thought I would put it together. It is not at all comprehensive but I will try to add to it over time. Any suggestions (non-commercial please) I can add please send them through…most of these ae just things I have found from my own research.
Information:
– Really worth exploring and with a great index to producers sites. One word of warning this is dedicated to “old skool” Barolo and so is not a good place for the modern producers. I am a believer that the old skool (although the notion of new vs old is outdated now) is the way forward but this is a matter of opinion: http://www.barol.org.uk – some great photos too!
