 Wrotham again (Andrew Tettenborn, 17 Feb 2006)

This was a bog-standard breach of contract case; if the wildlifers couldn't prove loss that was just tough; and they shouldn't be allowed to sneak under the wire by recharacterising their claim as a Wrotham Park one.

 Wrotham Pinot 2001 Vintage Report, Richard Grant Peterson Ph.D.
Richard Grant PetersoN, Ph.D. The best way to evaluate the 2001 vintage Richard Grant Wrotham Pinot is probably by comparing it directly with the outstanding 2000.
