Discovery & Tasting for Bordeaux Wine Month

We kicked off Bordeaux Wine Month with our Newsletter last week, and we’re delighted to be part of this nationwide celebration once again!

As specialists and importers of French wines, we love sharing the diversity Bordeaux has to offer. This September, we’re showcasing that variety through tastings, mixed cases, and a chance to win Bordeaux wine to enjoy at home.

Bordeaux at the Melbourne Festival – A Fantastic Start!

We kicked things off in style during the Melbourne Festival last weekend with a Bordeaux tastings on our premises. It was a real pleasure to pour wines for so many of you in such a lively setting — thank you to everyone who joined us. It was the perfect way to start Bordeaux Wine Month, and we’re excited to keep the momentum going.
