Abouriou
[edit]- ... that Abouriou was almost lost to extinction until a local farmer discovered abandoned plantings of the French wine grape growing up the walls of a ruined castle?

5x expansion/date OK. Hook fact interesting, no close paraphrasing etc. Image licensed OK. AGF on offline ref. Most of the sources look fine, except the blog - is there any particular reason why it is considered reliable? Simon Burchell (talk) 21:49, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
- Truth be told, the blog is only added as a secondary online reference to go with the offline text Wine Grapes. I know a lot of DYK reviewers feel more comfortable with online sources so I try to sprinkle some in when submitting my DYK noms. I have no reason to doubt the reliability of this particular wine blog and considering that all its info corroborates perfectly with the highly reliable Wine Grapes book, I felt comfortable adding it. But, again, it's not really needed since it all already sourced to the book. It was more just for your convenience but if you want to give the hook an AGF tick instead then feel free.

Thanks for getting back so quick, nice article, passing AGF. As a note, if everything is in the book, I'd dump the blog since they're not usually considered reliable sources. All the best, Simon Burchell (talk) 22:52, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
