Chateau la Coste - Irish Property Developers Wine Dream

Tom Cannavan's Wine Pages is an excellent wine newsletter. Recently it brought my attention to property developer Paddy McKillens wine venture in Provence. Perhaps it was the name of the property that attracted Mr. McKillen's interest in the first place? It's a shame Paddy managed to keep his loans from being NAMAised as it means we can't claim collective/nominal ownership of even a tiny slice of this incredible venture!

Have a look at this link to see what  a good cash flow can net you in the South of France.

Then follow on over to this link to see one of the most incredibly lavish art collections in any vineyard  - anywhere. As I say handy cash is a useful thing to have. Mind you this is a very impressive dream in the making. 
Tom Cannavan, we note, tells us that the wine at Chateau la Coste is coming along very well indeed. Biodynamic farming and a new, state of the art (sic), gravity flow winery. A true Wine Goose then.
