Haven't tasted it but have a letter from a Michael Kirwin in London who says he has not only tasted it but visited the Chateau in France and truly enjoyed the whole experience! You translate! Also, FYI, I have a note from McLysaught's book on Irish Family names that phonetically pronounces the old Irish spelling of what came to be Kirwin/Kirwan/ Kerwin, etc. as Curr-doo-wahn... Do you have any more info on those two brothers you mentioned PATRICK and Thomas, i.e., how old were they in 1846....? Could this be a link to my Patrick? How do you link these folks to your John?
