WineRelease.com's May 15, 2018 Monthly Newsletter.
Greetings from WineRelease.
This month we had 82 winery updates and 56 wineries releasing wine.
Spent five days in London and five days in Paris last month and had a great time. I visited the wine section of an upscale grocery store in London and there was a huge selection of Italian and French wines and then spotted Barefoot Cellers Pink Moscato and White Zinfandel for �6.69 ($9). It is scary to think that wine buyers in London would spend $9 equivalent for a $4-$4.50 (in US) and have that wine be a sweet wine atypical of what we produce.
I understand it may not make financial sense for US wineries to export their wines, but for the good of the US wine industry, It would be great to have more US wines available outside the United States that are characteristic of the wines we produce that would stand up against other wine regions of the world.
And now, onto the wine releases...
