I enjoy learning about the history of different wines. This was definitely an eye opener for me. Very interesting how when we look back at things that have gone wrong in our lives we see that there was a reason for it. Just think, if Mr. Guarachi wouldn’t have gotten hurt, he would have made a career out of soccer instead of starting the wine importing company that introduced California to Chilean wines.

Fron 1995 to 2007 I was traveling to Chile two or threentimes a year for business and grew to love the people, the food and of course the wine. Although my travels were mostly limited to Santiago and non-wine producing regions I always made a point to try wines that were unavailable in the US. Interesting, I vividly recall trying to coax my Chilean dinner companions to try a Carmenere, mostly they wanted Cabs (who can blame them) but sometimes I won out and now I enjoy Chilean Carmenere along with Cabs.

Can’t wait to get back to Chile someday.

Thanks
Charlie Brown
