Rodney Fletcher Vintners : our Californian wines

California

It was not all that long ago that we were considering delisting California as a category due to poor sales across the range. It could simply be a coincidence, a sudden craze for the region's wines or a recent migration of Californian wine lovers into the South East, but demand for the wines below since we introduced them has rather surprised us. The Winston Hill range are extremely good wines for the price and we struggled when trying to decide which of the enormous range of Beringer wines we were going to stock, such was the choice available.
