In this podcast we cover Chile, a country with some really great wines and some very interesting history behind it in the wine world.
After a retraction and re-giving of thanks to a listener we cover the main topic. We discuss how this long, narrow country’s isolation has led to a bunch of developments — great for wine, less good for politics We talk about the climate, geography, and main grapes
- We review the long history of winemaking, starting with the
Conquistadores and hitting on some of the key developments
