I am hoping that it is that they realize some "potential," and at some point
in time, that potential will be realized. See my reply, above, to The
Professor, , my experiences with Chilean wines.
Now, I'm always open and will try them, but I do not hold out much hope. I
love to have to eat my words (paired by a great Chilean red... ), but have
only had to do so once. Just picked up two bottles of Montes Alpha Chard (do
not recall the appellation/vineyard) that came highly recommended at ~US$28,
and was very disappointed. I can think of 50 chards within $10/btl. that I
really appreciate, but not this one. I'm sure that there are some out there,
and I admit to not "looking" for them, but gallons seem to come my way, as
most distributors in the state know how I feel and want to prove me wrong.
Please give me a few examples of really good Chilean wines, and I'll do my
best to find them, acquire them, and will report to the NG (maybe with a
serving of crow).
