Westlake Village, CA ? February 24, 2002 ? American Cellars Wine Club-the countries premier wine club for hard-to-find "boutique" wines -
has found that France's latest political stance has done more than anger the U.S. Government.
"Our members just do not want anything French" says Marc Musitano, Vice President of Operations for American Cellars.
"We have been receiving returns of French wine at an alarming rate, but we managed to appease most of our members with either domestic or foreign, non-French, replacements."
Asked how he believes this will affect business in the future, Musitano quipped, "Well I can tell you we won't be sourcing any French Wine anytime soon.
However, with the rise of regions such as Australia, Chile, and Argentina, -as well as great domestic product - we have no shortage of great wines to take their place."Founded in 1993, American Cellars Wine Club selects hard-to-find
wines from small, "boutique" wineries and ships these featured wines to our members on a monthly basis.
American Cellars specializes in wines that are made from relatively small producers; are made from up and coming but nonetheless under-appreciated grape varieties; are from emerging wine-producing regions or countries; or are from innovative winemakers.
