The name Treskilling Yellow refers to a printing error on a Swedish stamp. The normal three skilling stamp is colored green while the eight skilling stamp was printed in yellow. However, due to an unknown error (but most likely the three skilling plate was accidently replaced by an eight skilling one), the three skilling stamp was printed in yellow, creating the Treskilling Yellow Stamp. The only known copy of the Treskilling Yellow was discovered by a schoolboy named Georg Wilhelm Baeckman in 1886 while going through his grandparents' attic. To this date, this is the only copy known in existence and is worth about $80 billion/pound by weight - one of the most expensive objects in the world!
Missing Virgin A stunning red blend of Pinotage and Petit Verdot grapes resulting in a wine which has an intensely bluish color; a scrumptious full bodied rich wine with supple soft tannins., a hint of blueberries, fruit cake and wild heath on the nose. Enjoy with spicy dishes, light curry and beef roasts.
The name refers to a printing error on a Virgin Island stamp. The virgin figure was omitted from the stamp, hence the nick-name, “Missing Virgin”. St. Ursula was a virgin martyr who lived between the third and fifth centuries A.D. She was born in Britain, avoided marriage to a pagan king and is believed to have been slain for her faith with 10,000 virgin companions at Cologne, Germany. Christopher Columbus named the Virgin Islands in her honor. John Platter 4.5 star
