I am a export gent in france and I am so happy to read your mail.
the french did a lot of improvement regarding every aspect of their
production.
I love the beaujolais a lot and i thinks there's a lot of tremendous
languedoc. I also work with very good cotes du rhone at a very reasonable
price.

The very same! We've been a client of Sorin (de France or Defrance?) for
many years, always been excellent value.

I wrote last year about finding 6 forgotten bottles of '95, they were
actually
pretty good!

Well done. I'll keep my eyes open, actually may be in the area in the
not too distant future.

One of our favorites is Jacques Trichard, both Morgon and Regnie, as
well as a very decent villages level.

Noted, thanks for that.
