Description
Although Busby collected hundreds of vines for shipment to Australia, his travels are of interest to the wine buff for the factual data he uncovered. For example, in Tain he was told that "the greatest part of the finest growth[of Hermitage] is sent to Bordeaux to mix with the first growth of claret."
