New World Order

I have just received my first order of a new line for me here at Old Chapel Cellars - Domaine Drouhin Pinot Noir  from Oregon, USA.  I have sold this wine before, during my time at Noble Green Wines, but have only just found the confidence that I have an outlet for it here in my own business.

Drouhin is a famous name in Burgundy and they were among the first to recognise the potential that Oregon had for producing fantastic Pinot.  Domaine Drouhin produced its first Oregon wine in 1988 and they have proved to be very successful. 

The stlye of these wines is very true to their roots - Burgundian.  So much so in fact that I have tasted them before and thought that they were more Burgundian than some Burgundy I had tried!

I now hope that my customers are willing to jump in and see what the New World can do. 

As a little footnote it is worth mentioning that I've in the short time I've been writing this post I've already sold some 3 bottles!  Well that is certainly a promising start....
