Chile Wines For A Chilly Season

Chile may be a New World country, but its wine industry is has been in the game for centuries! While there has been an explosion of quality Chilean wine appearing stateside over the past 30 years, its first grapevines were planted as early as the 1500s. European immigrants brought more varieties, particularly from Bordeaux, to Chile in the 1800s. Chile is home to many fascinating varieties of wines that are just now entering the US. These wines are painting an entirely new picture of possibility for Chilean wine aside from being labeled as just a producer of commercial value wine.

During this class we will discover the wide range of great wines made in Chile: from the crisp, grassy Sauvignon Blanc of the Casablanca valley to the elegant, age-worthy Cabernets made in Colchagua Valley, their signature Carmenère grape grown in Maipo Valley and their big and powerful Bordeaux style blends.
