Yeah, that was supposed to be "cheesy".
But really, a GOOD wine. Those Vascos brothers sure do know how to make a kick butt Colchagua Valley 14% bottle of good stuff.
I can not remember exactly what I liked about it, but I do remember being surprised. I'll find the receipt soon and post the price. And where I got it. I guess it would help if I actually had gathered this info prior to sitting down to write my wine blog. Ha. I work for no one! Whooo hoo! At least on this blog.
According to the back label, Los Vascos is one of Chile's oldest wine estates, and was taken over by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) in the 80s. It is technically in the Caneten (with a tilde over the N) valley of the Colchagua province.
The rest of the label talks about how this wine is for "connaisseurs" ... really? I'll forgive them because I'm sure it's reasonably priced (I'll check) and it tastes good.
Note: $14.99 at Cost Plus / World Market.
