“We first ran into André Shearer at the wine show in Saumur and that was followed by a visit to Beaune where Monica and I first met him. We very quickly realized that we had, at last, met someone talking the same language as ourselves and adhering to similar tastes and values. Up until that time, we had always been a bit frustrated by the complexities resulting from the size of the American market, very hard to work in for tiny companies like ours. We then met a number of members on the team and were delighted to find such enthusiasm and professionalism all surrounded by the same core values that we found in Mr. Shearer. We are hoping to discover new areas in the US market which we have not yet explored, thanks to the help we get from Cape Classics and in the meantime, we enjoy having a partner with whom we feel in such harmony.”
