In my last few posts, like this one, this one and this one, I’ve been highlighting Sauvignon Blanc from the coastal region of Chile. I’m continuing that theme today with a post about a Sauvignon Blanc named “Grey” from Ventisquero Wine Estates. This wine comes from the Huasco River Valley in the northern part of […]

If you are a wine grower, I suppose there are a couple different approaches you could take related to choosing what to grow. You could start with the property you own and select the grape varieties you think would do best in that terroir. Or you could decide what variety you want to grow and […]

In my opinion, Sauvignon Blanc is one of the most recognizable wine varieties out there. Even if you don’t often do blind tastings, if you know your wine you’ll be able to tell a Sauvignon Blanc when you taste one. The tropical and grassy characteristics are a dead giveaway. That said, Sauvignon Blanc is also […]

There’s a French expression I’m quite fond of, “l’esprit d’escalier.” The literal translation of this is “the spirit of the stairs” but meaning of the expression is the experience you have as you’re walking away from a conversation and you think of the perfect response after the fact, when it’s too late.

If you spend much time exploring wine, through visiting vineyards and talking with producers or even just reading about it, the topic of climate change is likely to come up… often. While some politicians and biased media sources like to question the veracity of climate change models, those who have been working in the wine […]

When thinking of Malbec, many people think of Argentina, given the fact that so much Malbec is produced there it has almost become synonymous with Argentine wine. But Argentina isn’t the only country where good Malbec is produced. Just to the west of Argentina, in Chile, they are also producing some tasty Malbec. In today’s […]

While you can enjoy rosé any time of year, the warm weather outside is telling me rosé season is officially here. Let’s kick off the season with a review of a delicious rosé that retails for a mere $12. Monte Velho (pronounced MON-teh VELL-yo) is one of the brands produced by Portuguese wine producer, Esporão.

A couple weeks ago, I published a comparison of two bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile — one of them from the Maipo Valley and the other from Colchagua Valley. That was round one of this face off, today I have round two. In round one, the bottles I compared were both 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, […]

I’ve been touting Chilean wines as outstanding bargains for several years now. And while I’ve highlighted wines from different regions of Chile, it can be difficult to keep track of which Chilean wine regions are best for different varieties of wine. I’ve been at this for years, tasted hundreds of Chilean wines and read extensively […]
