Chablis is a beautiful rendition of Chardonnay, albeit French sryle. Production is done in stainless vats so the style is unoaked. If proposed tariffs are enacted, this wine will probably not be exported to USA.
IT'S HAPPENING!!! Last week this French wine was $24.99 and now it's $29.99 (20% increase). Thank you Tariff Man for enacting 25% tariff on French wines effective Oct 18. Many importers did not pass this increase to consumers but that's old news. And there's more to come if 100% tariff becomes effective later this month and this tariff will apply to all EU countries. Stay tuned...
Get it while you can - many wines from France may no longer be available in USA! Vacqueyras is 1 of 9 crus in southern Rhone Valley, a region that has popularized the GSM blend (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre). Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the un-disputed king (full-body) of the region that is best with aging but other appellation wines (Côtes du Rhône) are approachable at young age (1-5 years). Today, Côtes du Rhône (CdR) wines are priced $15 to $25 but this may soon change. President Trump has proposed 100% tariff on all wines from European Union (EU) countries that could be effective by end of January (2020). If this tariff is imposed, the retail price of French wines will increase significantly. And most likely, the importer will find another market – dare I say China! Now how does this tariff make sense?
A beautiful wedding celebration has ended after 3 days with family and friends. The crowd is gone and life returns to normalcy. So it’s a time to open a bottle of vintage champagne, Dom Perignon 2000! Salute amd many years of happiness, Mike and Steph
