The total Burgundy Essentials Audio Series is approximately 535 MB. I am getting a “Host not found” error in the Flux Media Player? You are probably behind a corporate firewall that is preventing the Flux Player from accessing the internet. The Flux Player needs access to www.flickrocket.com through port 80 (standard http) and 443 (SSL). You can configure the firewall settings by opening the Flux Player and choosing File>Settings and then clicking on the Network tab. Your system administrator should be able to provide the necessary settings. If that does not resolve the problem, you can try temporarily disabling any anti-virus or internet security software to determine if those applications are interfering with the internet connection. The Flux Media Player is certified virus free. I downloaded and installed the Flux Player on my computer, but where do I find it? Mac users can find the Flux Player in the Applications folder.

Here is a website link with a table and converter option - http://www.asknumbers.com/CelsiusToFahrenheitConversion.aspx YIELDS (Denominated in hectares) 1 hectoliter = 100 liters/hectare, which would be expressed at 1 hl/ha 100 liters = 133 bottles or ~11 cases The typical yield realized by a “serious” domaine is 30 to 35 hl/ha, or around 4,500 bottles or ~390 cases The usual planting density in the Côte d’Or is 10,000 vines per hectare. So 30 to 35 hl/ha is roughly 1/3 to ½ of a bottle per vine The traditional Burgundian wine barrel, known as a pièce, contains 228 liters, or the equivalent of 304 bottles; note however that because of the presence of lees and the like, about 290 bottles (or ~24 cases) per traditional barrel is the practical reality Source: The Pearl of the Côte – The Great Wines of Vosne-Romanée by Allen Meadows, www.burghoundbooks.com BURGUNDY’S 33 GRAND CRUS Grand Cru Region Village Wine color Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne- Côte de Beaune White wine Bâtard-Montrachet Montrachet Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Côte de Beaune Puligny-Montrachet
