To all Wine Exchangers, OK, couple things to address here. First, it’s officially hot out there. Second, I love Mexican food. Third, real men drink Muscat. Last, real cool men drink sparkling Moscatel. Sparkling Moscatel? Really? Yes, really. Pioneering Spanish wine importer Jorge Ordoñez had a mind early on to take the old vine, hillside […]

To all Wine Exchangers, It’s hard to know where to start with this story.  There are so many angles. The wine comes from southwestern France, so it’s French wine.
