Free Market Wine Group and Summer Travel Plans

It's Spring Time!
It's been 6 month's since the merger of Vinture Wine Group and Free Market Wine Group. After a view bumps in the road we are now ready to roll. A lot of new items and brands have been added to the portfolio of Free Market Wine Group:
Brandborg Wines from Oregon
Chateau Laubade Armagnac
Lamplighter and Alias Wines from California,
Michel-Schlumberger from Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma
Axios and Worthy from Napa,
Michael Pozzan Wines (Dante, Annabella)
look forward to some craft Boubons coming soon

Follow us on Facebook for updates on different wine tastings that are upcoming now.

More new for the summer: Patty and I will fly to Madrid in June. There we will pick up a rental car and drive up to Rueda, Ribera del Duero, Rioja - visit at Heredad Ugarte - to San Sebastian. Crossing over to France we arrange a visit to Chateau Peyros - our Producer of Tanat Wines in Madiran - then an over-nighter at Chateau Laubade - producer of wonderful Bas Armagnac's. Up to Bordeaux to visit Chateau Haut-Selve in Graves and Chateau Leoville Poyferre (2nd Growth in St. Julien) There will still be time to look up some places in Pomerol where we hope to meet our Friend Marcello Pelleriti from Argentina - who recently received 100 Points from Parker for his LaViolet (Pomerol) wine. Unfortunately, Catherine Vere-Perge, owner of Monteviejo and Chat La Violet and Chat. LeGay passed away earlier this week. This great Lady of many good wines will be missed by many friends.
