sir brian mcgrath 2He served in the Irish Guards during the war and when invalided out in 1946 he followed his uncle Raymond into the wine business; the latter being chairman of Taylor Walker, the Victoria Wine Company, Cannon Brewery and Slough Estates.
Working at Taylor Walker, Cannon Brewery and the Victoria Wine Company over the years, he became a master of wine in 1956 and then serving as chairman himself between 1960 and 1982.
During his time there the chain operated 1,000 branches and he also negotiated a deal with Warnink to distribute Advocaat in the UK – where it, briefly, became one of the top-selling liqueurs.
He was also made a director of Grants of St James’s in 1960 (and served as chairman from 1975-1982) and was a director of Allied Breweries from 1970-1982.
In 1982 he was chosen to become assistant private secretary to Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. When the incumbent secretary, Lord Rupert Nevill, died very suddenly in July the same year, McGrath found himself promoted.
メンドーサ州は、温暖少雨の地中海性気候のため、ブドウ栽培、ワイン醸造が盛んであり、アルゼンチン産のワインの7割近くが作られ[1]、メンドーサに集積される。快適な気候とワイン、牧歌的な風景を求めて例年多くの観光客が訪れる。オリーブオイル作りも盛んである。
Mendoza's development was helped partly due to its position at the start of the Transandine Railway linking it to Santa Rosa de Los Andes in Chile. The only railway operable between Argentina and Chile, after many years of inactivity, is currently under restoration and testing for its revival as a freight line by Belgrano Cargas.[13][14][15][1
