I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the wines relative to the price. Rhone wines are usually a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault grapes. I know the distributor (He also distributes the Corte Riva wines from Napa, and some South African wines that are very good too!) He doesn't have a retail outlet (wine shop), but I can give you a contact number if you're interested.


Please PM me the contact number as well :D Thanks

Say when Bro. My doctor put me on a strict no alcohol diet until further notice, but that doesn't mean my friends cannot enjoy my alcohol in the meantime. I will just sip my Perrier on ice. ;(
