Happy St Valentine's to all our St. John's Wood customer from Jonathan and the newly arrived Charles !
Who is Chrales?
Charles is from the Loire Valley, and he used to be a cellar master in his family estate in the Muscadet region (near Nantes). The estate is classified as an historical monument from the Italian period of the late 18th century in south Nantes (Bonaparte was back from his Italy 's campaign). It's also the first place where the word "Muscadet" has been found on a document from 1635. You can discover the propertie during your journey in France by renting one of their first class B and B rooms!
Few years ago, Charles became a wine merchant on the Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean close to Mauritius. It's a wonderful volcano island known for its Unesco Wild Park, its ethnic mixity, extreme trekking, Wales watching, surfing (be careful with sharks!), paragliding and so much more. French people usually call it the Intense Island, and it was even own for a short time by the Great Britain Crown!
And finally Charles settled in London because he liked the atmosphere going on here and also the cool climate (that he can certainly enjoy at the moment!).
As usual, The St John Wood team will be happy to find out the perfect wine for you!
We hope to see you very soon!
Jonathan & Charles.
