Thanks for the great write up Marc! Chile really is making some amazing Sauvignon Blancs. It's unfortunate you didn't make it up to Limari! It's a hike but such a gem. I'll be out in Wisconsin in June and would love to introduce some wines to you from there. Vina Tabali, their vino will blow your mind.

Good morning, Marc.

Do you carry any wines from the following wineries in Oregon: Domaine Drouhin and Domaine Serene? A friend of mine in traveling through Oregon and is most likely stopping at both of these wineries today.

Thanks,
Mitch Maloney (the bald guy that shops at the Germantown location all the time)

Please keep your eyes opened for my very favorite Carmenere and put some info in your blog if you are on to anything. Carmenere turned me on to Chilean wines, and it's my red of preference. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, Marc. Actually a lot of us just happen to fall into a career after laying the groundwork that, at the time, we really didn't think would result in where we end up.

I just saw you earlier this week in Germantown when we talked about the Snooth site and the various wines they recommend.

I subscribe to a magazine called International Living and in the magazine and email reports just this week they are talking about the low cost compared to the US to buy land already with grapes on it in Argentina and other South American countries where you can start your own winery. Seems like a possible great opportunity.

Hope to see you soon in Germantown or at the Milwauke Wine tasting experience.

Mitch

Unfiltered wines will settle and thus appear clear unless the sediment gets shaken up. Often reds are unfiltered, though not as easy to see in reds as it is in whites. Don't be afraid of sediment in any form. That's just flavor to an oenophile :0

Go to school, eat your veggies, and listen to your mother. No, seriously, I spent many years working in restaurants and to be honest there was a time I really didn't appreciate wine at all. When I started to learn about wine I found it fun and loved to share what I was learning. From there it's been a wild ride to where I am today. Thanks for your reminder of how lucky I am!! Although the trip to South America was a good slap in the face

Excellent article, I'm extremely jealous. As a big fan of unfiltered wines, I regard the cloudiness and bit of sediment at the bottom as a mark of independence & quality, though the best unfiltered wine I've had was clear as day!
