Our ship has sailed!
Our first export to England was shipped a little over a week ago. It’s been quite an experience in terms of learning the bureaucratic process involved in exporting wine. Alcohol sales are always more complicated than other products, and when two countries are involved, the process gets even more convoluted. Our customs agent has been central in explaining the process and getting all the documents approved. I couldn’t have done it on my own!
Our new distributor in England is Boutique Vintners L.L.P., a specialist importer of quality wine products from small producers. The company is co-owned by Nigel Murgatroyd, who is based in England, and Charles Hallifax, who divides his time between Chile and the U.K. The business combines direct sales to individuals and distribution to selected on-trade establishments.

Can’t find any mention in Google? Have they a web presence? Love to try the wine I read about!

That would be excellent! Unfortunately, their web site is still under construction (www.boutique-wines-of-chile.co.uk). Send me an email at jen at flahertywines dot com, and I’ll get you their contact info.
