the mystery of Poesia Wines

John-- its funny you would ask this now... I just got a request for the wines of this producer from one of my clients this past week. Im afraid that I still cannot have someone from this producer give me an answer.

Its a case of a winery that is run by "remote control" from France, owned by a wealthy & prestigious family that doesnt seem to care much about selling their product. Most of this wine is exported to Europe, and they never got around to organizing a professional distribution here in Argentina...

Im still trying to get an email address for Helene Garcin in the hope that a direct plight to her may yield at least a straight answer as to whether I will ever be able to purchase these wines.... or not.

Will let you know when (and if) I get an answer.

Cheers,
