Comments on: Travel Channel Premier Party with Wines of Chile http://www.winesofchile.org/2009/08/travel-channel-premier-party-with-wines-of-chile-2/ Wines of Chile Wed, 12 Jun 2013 12:41:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: eileen http://www.winesofchile.org/2009/08/travel-channel-premier-party-with-wines-of-chile-2/#comment-58 eileen Fri, 14 Aug 2009 02:20:50 +0000 http://www.winesofchile.org/?p=4900#comment-58 There's alot of things to say about this show, but luckily Chile pretty much came up smelling like roses. If the host wants to complain that Torres del Paine is too far afield, and that they've been in a (cushy) van for 6 hours, then maybe Patagonia's just too remote for him. How well did he survive in Mongolia, one wonders? I blogged about this, if you'd like to give it a look. Mostly I wonder what has become of The Travel Channel such that they had to stoop to such a poor-quality show. That's okay, more Chile for the rest of us! http://bearshapedsphere.blogspot.com/2009/08/confessions-of-travel-writer-view-from.html There’s alot of things to say about this show, but luckily Chile pretty much came up smelling like roses.

Seems like it wasn't good publicity and the host of the show was very negative about Chile. http://www.worldhum.com/features/travel-interviews/interview-with-charles-runnette-confessions-of-a-travel-writer-20090810/#comments Have you all seen the negative comments viewers said about this show on Chile ? …. the link below is for an article about the show and the number of people that didn’ t appreciate how Chile was shown is incredible!
