    We don't know and we don't really care about it. What we care about is that it's a great wine and we have it at great price.
    Cheers

        We don't think so because the wine is great. As stated above.

          @Skye Cellars: They still could have thought it was bad even if you disagree.

          I do wonder why they rejected it

            @Tleyx: It's always an option.
            I am pretty sure it was about price and freight though.
            But I don't know for sure.

              @Skye Cellars: Hi @Tleyx, i hope our friends at @Skye Cellars don't mind me hopping in with a producers perspective and as a producer who deals a lot with Canada. It's often about velocity of sales, simply that the sales didn't pull through as quickly as the Canadian Liquor Boards had hoped. It's a common occurance and certainly no reflection on the wines themselves.

              McLaren Vale Shiraz for around $10ish per bottles. Happy days :-)

              Chalk Hill are a terrific producer and, indeed, we buy fruit from them for one of our own wines.

                @RD ADL: Yeah it seems risky to me, you would think they know.how much it costs to shop before they order

                  @Tleyx: The slings and arrows of international trade - these things just happen occasionally for a variety of reasons :-)
