July Rhône Shipment

Sometimes it puzzles us why French wines have a reputation for being expensive. Clearly many of them are (just look at the prices for 2009 Bordeaux for instance), but there are so many great value French wines out there, particularly from the southern Rhône valley — the container we've just landed is full of them. And while value for money can occur any price, under thirty bucks works well for most of us, and under twenty five is even better! So have a look through our Latest Offers below and see what catches your fancy. If you can't find value for money in this latest shipment we may have to chuck it all in and take up knitting instead.

Cheers, Ryan & Al!
