To all Wine Exchangers, We have long been proponents of the upper levels of Beaujolais, the Crus, and have presented them vigorously over the years as some of the best and most versatile red wine values on the planet.  The same could be said of importer Kermit Lynch who has been bringing in some of […]

To all Wine Exchangers, They went and did it again. But, when we visited the winery in May of last year and tasted the ‘new’ stuff coming down the pike, we already knew it.

To all Wine Exchangers, We are no strangers to San Felice here at Winex, seen as these folks have been on a tremendous roll over the last few years, to the point where there has been regularly plenty to talk about regarding this exceptional Tuscan source.
