Pairing wine with food is something most people do on a regular basis but maybe not with much planning. Thankfully, we have Sommeliers to do the work of breaking down what goes well with what and why (here in Chile, we are lucky to have Master Sommelier Hector Vergara for this). But what if we’re [...]

Wine Aerators and the Wine Drinking Experience
Wine aerators* – they’re in a lot of wine lovers’ home now. They’re small, relatively inexpensive, very easy to use and, most importantly, make a noticeable difference in a wine’s taste (in my opinion). There’s also something so satisfying about the sound they make as you pour your big, tannic Cabernet Sauvignon through them. So, [...]20 Barrels Limited Edition Sauvignon Blanc 2010
“Fresh, fruity and juicy, elegant and slightly mineral, with a ‘toque’ (hint) of green asparagus. A good unoaked Sauvignon Blanc despite the confusing name (20 Barrels). Great for salads with spring vegetables and seafood. Try it with Pacific salmon, Chiloe potato and green asparagus… I would sign for it! Good wine with a good value/pleasure [...]

Cono Sur Organic Chardonnay 2009

The wine has a wonderful silken texture on the palate. It’s extremely dry and crisp, and the aromas and flavors resonate on the finish. It’s perfect as an aperitif [...]
Cono Sur Visión Single Vineyard Gewürztraminer 2010
“This is one of the more ecologically dedicated wineries in Chile, emphasizing organic grape growing, carbon-neutral production, lighter bottles and so on. Its Gewürztraminer is dry and packed with fruit, bringing to mind peach, lychee and pink grapefruit, with a touch of white pepper.”
Dan Kislenko / The Hamilton Spector / CanadaCono Sur Visión Single Vineyard Riesling 2010
“From Quiltramán in the Bío Bío Valley…a great Riesling and an excellent buy for those who want classic petro and citrus, along with more floral, tropical melon notes. I personally like this style, and sometimes want more fruit and body in Riesling than I get from Germany or Niagara.”
David Lawrason / Wine Align / CanadaCono Sur Organic Cabernet Sauvignon-Carmenere 2009
“There’s plum and berry fruit on the nose and palate of this Chilean red, with some chocolate spice and light toasty oak and soft tannins on the finish. It’s a great partner to almost any barbecued red meats or hearty casseroles.”
