Montreal Gazette wine writer Bill Zacharkiw spent a couple weeks in Chile recently–first as one of 10 Canadian judges in the 7th Annual Wines of Chile Awards, and then exploring some of Chile’s wine regions (see his recent column on Understanding Chilean Wine Regions). He’s still got Chile on his mind this week as he continues to reflect on his experience here.
This time he turns his thoughts and palate turn to Chile’s flagship grape, Cabernet Sauvignon, and another two varietals that blew him away: Carmenere and Carignan.
