Heraldic

 


Found this obscure but delicious wine in the back of the wine cupboard under the stairs on friday. The wonderfully gothic heraldry on the label reminded me of the knights in the series of King Arthur books I am reading at the moment by Rosemary Sutcliff. I am loving the novels and plan to read her one on Beowolf next. Her most famous book is The Ninth Legion about the supposed disappearance of a Roman legion in the north of England, (although they may have actually been wiped out in the infamous rout that was the battle of Teutoberg Forest against the Germanic tribes).
