"Glad you like them, Luiz! There was always a full sample guide, free to view/download ;) but I think many people were like you and didn't even get that far! Do tell the world. Thanks so much! Wink"

"Hi Wink, Shame on me! But I have to confess that I had never used your guides before because I had to pay for them... I just checked one out (since it was free) and I loved it! I would pay for it now... Is it a paradox or just the fear that people…"

Hi Wink! Thanks for the connection. I am jealous that you spend time in the Savoie -- I have fond memories of first seeing the "Abymes" cliff, such an amazing place! Very impressed by your site and concept -- how well do the guides worth on handheld devices?

Fascinating website (WTG) and concept. This should be the future of e-travel guidebooks. If you ever put together something on the States, let me know as I know Oregon and Washington wine country reasonably well (I live in Washington), and have spent some time in the California wine country. Good luck with WTG -- I hope it's wildly successful.

China Market

Our company is opening channels into China for exporting wine. We are able to tap an unique market for distribution but also delving into the regular market. High volume is mandatory, but we have an order for a smaller exploratory shipment. If you have a slate of bottles that you think would work well, please contact me if your wineries want to take part. Looking for low end and high end bottles. State-side or abroad. I would be happy to answer any questions via…

Looking to buy cheap wine for China

Hello!

My company is based out of California and specializes in exporting and distributing wine to China.

 

We are currently looking for any Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot wines that fall in the $1-4/bottle price range for a client that wants 1 small order and one much larger bulk order.

 

If anyone with bottled and labeled wine in this price range and is interested in exporting to China don't hesitate to contact me. Also, if you just have general questions,…
