Sad news

Post by Roy Hersh »

Word just in that John Avery passed away last Friday. :(
May he rest in peace and sincere condolences to his family!

In what capacity was John Avery involved with madeira? Sorry for being unfamiliar with him. Assuming he was a winemaker there, this is indeed sad news.

Sad news. Avery's is/was one of the leading Madeira retailers in the UK. Had their 1846 Avery's label Terrantez recently which was superb.
