New Zealand Wine of the Week - Vavasour Marlborough Rose 2006 Vavasour Marlborough Rose 2006 smelt inviting and appealing with fresh strawberry and cream scents - and the crisp strawberry and juicy stonefruit flavours filled the expectation that the nose promised. The Vavasour was still perfect, so I put it aside to drink the contents later, which we did on Friday night. Vavasour Marlborough Rose 2006 is packaged in a clear bottle to show off the beautiful colour that was achieved by the crushed grapes having 12 hours contact with the skins. www.wineoftheweek.com /archives/wine070121.html   (661 words)

Thomas VAVASOUR of Skellingthorpe Vavasour may have been influenced by the example of Sir Henry Knyvett who five years earlier had fought a duel which nearly cost him his life, but his proposed meeting with Oxford at Newington evidently did not come off. Coming as he did from a Catholic family, Vavasour must have had many ties with members of that Church; there was, for example, his namesake who was imprisoned about 1583 in the Gatehouse and who was later in trouble as a servant of Sir Thomas Tresham. Vavasour's own career, and his connexion with the strongly protestant Knyvetts, make it unlikely that he retained his family's religious allegiance, and he died believing in the merits of Christ's Passion. www.tudorplace.com.ar /Bios/ThomasVavasour.htm   (928 words)

Fort Vancouver NHS: Historic Structures Report (Chapter 7) When this well of 1841 is next shown on a map -- that drawn by Lieutenant Vavasour late in 1845 -- it appears to have shifted position, being much closer to the north stockade wall than indicated by Emmons (see plates VI and VII). This was seemingly the well shown by Vavasour since one reconstructed in February probably would not have been replaced by the end of the year. This well, indicated on the Vavasour plan as being just north of the Beef Store and about 45 feet west of the granary, is termed "Well No. 1" in the balance of this report. www.nps.gov /archive/fova/hsr/hsr1-7.htm   (592 words)
