TOB's newsletters are here, but there are a number of other French wine importers around, some specialising in certain wines
besides above, there was a recent
Loire Valley online tasting with chenin blanc and cabernet franc; this week Vintec have one on the southwest, featuring Cahors (malbec) and Jurancon (manseng), possibly with the help of
Mosaique; previously,
if this is too off-topic, then perhaps consider creating a new thread, such as "wine recommendations - what should i buy?"
life's too short to drink or waste money on inferior wine - i rely on
professional reviews and specialised blogs, particular posters/forums, personal recommendations from those more knowledgeable, CellarTracker - Vivino is the last place that i'd check
you need to look harder at better stores - Buzz is the retail arm of importer/distributor Vintage & Vine
look forward to your reviews of their wines
so you know the prices of the wines in France, but how is TOB cheaper if they can't be found here?
