Weird wine names
Just received a sample from d'Arenberg wines - yet to try. The name is
"Noble Botryotinia ****elinia" a semillon sauvignon blanc blend. Thought it was a joke at first but Wikipedia says http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botryotinia_****eliana "Botryotinia ****eliana is a plant pathogen, and the causal agent of gray mold disease. The specific epithet was named by mycologist Heinrich Anton de Bary in honor of another mycologist, Karl Wilhelm Gottlieb Leopold ****el. This species is better known as its anamorph, Botrytis cinerea." Cheers! Martin |
