I agree with Derek. The samples of Chilean wines in the US stores are still very limited and/or dominated by the big brands. In my opinion, there are a lot of wines in Chile that brings the thunder for $6.000 to $15.000 Pesos (12 to 30 US$) and usually they come from mid to small winaries that probably struggle to make it to USA under today’s currency scenario (US Dollar is at its weakest point in probably ten years compared to Peso). Add to that the earthquake effect (smaller production) and you will see why producers opted to keep their production in Chile or to send it to other markets rather than USA this year. Gary, I would be more than happy to suggest you a bunch of very interesting wines for your taistings, without the need of reaching the high price of CM Lota.

Gary, you made me laugh out loud saying “Lurkers, COME OUT!” at the end! Did you coin the phrase lurkers? Love it! Catching up on all the episodes leading up to #1000! 🙂
