How right you are about the difficulty of getting french wine here in australia. after 7 yrs o’seas, i return to my home city and home having withdrawal. australians are as parochial/xenophobic wrt wine purchacing as the french, which is a pity, b/c the australian wine industry would benefit over time if the population had more wines from more parts of the world on the retail shelf to experiment with. whenever i do get a french wine, its usually one in the ‘international’ style. getting french french wine is nearly impossible. which is a bummer for those of us who like to drink wine with food . . . .

Tonnes of Sancerre at Ultimo Wine Centre in Sydney. Great price range too. Try them on line.

where, oh where did you find a Pouilly-Fumé for $35? I have hunted and refused dusty bottles offered at $60 a pop – I choose to quaff not collect and $60+ quaffing is for bubbles.
