John Islands Imports and Classique wines

I tried these wines a few weeks ago and lost my notes but I had ordered some and then found the notes so after tasting about 10 wines these were the wines I chose First off this is a new Import business run by a couple of young guys who have followed their passion for wine and done something about it. In this market and time where bigger guys like New Castle are going under it will be good to have new blood in the supply chain.



Domaine Galevan Paroles de Femme Cote du Rhone 2006 soft and feminine style go figure. a touch of dirt but very appealing flavors on the end



Domaine St Amant Grangeneuve Beaumes de Venise
licorice, anise and spices make this very provencial even though technically thats not. lots of foods this would go well with especially lambs and veal

Chateau de Seriege Merlot/Cabernet juicy with a lovely meaty midpalate. very well priced at around $11

Domaine Eternal ost du Roussillon Villages 2006 my favorite of the lot. smoky, dark and lots of grit.
