Before starting their business, the husband and wife team of Patrick and Connie Allen spent many years living in France and New York. During that time they worked for many major players in the wine business including Becky Wasserman, Neal Rosenthal, William Deutsch, and Michael Skurnik.
After crafting a business plan over many long walks through Central Park they “took the plunge” and in the spring of 2002 moved to France. Their goal was to establish an importing company dedicated to promoting French country wines from villages far off the beaten track.

2.Virgile Costieres de Nimes Blanc 2018 $12.99

The Viognier adds tropical fruit flavors to the wine, as well as beautiful, floral aromatics. Finally, Rolle is new this year in the blend (AKA Vermentino) adds some citrus and good acidity.
3.Rosemary Lane Marselan 2018 - $11.99- The Wildcard!
The wine is dark purple-colored, with a nose of black fruit, hints of cocoa, cedar, and herbs de Provence. On the palate, the wine is very juicy, with nice, balancing, acidity and very soft silky tannins.

This wine also has the rare combination of black pepper and garrigue spices, with very soft tannins. It is a perfect match for pork, tuna, and salmon.
5.Clos del Rey La Sabina 2017 - $24.99
The Mediterranean influences of earthy, wild herbs make this robust blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah dense and concentrated, yet very lively.
