Alain Junguenet founded Wines of France, Inc. in 1984 in Mountainside, NJ, after a long career of racing cars in France and around Europe. Alain's selection is known for its focus on the Rhone Valley, more specifically, Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Even the 'Grand Fromage' of wine critics, Robert Parker, recognized this when he dubbed Alain with the title "Mr. Chateauneuf-du-Pape." The Wines of France, Inc. portfolio represents all of France's wine regions and is dedicated to working with small, family-run estates producing quality wines that represent their regions and offer good value.
Alain's son John has followed his father and is the future of Wines of France, Inc. Chateauneuf-du-Pape is not unfamiliar to John, as he worked the 2005 harvest at Le Vieux Donjon, who was selected #3 in Wine Spectator's Top 100 of 2007. John grew up visiting the various wine regions of France, and enjoys talking to people about his homeland and the wines that it produces.
