it's an entry level producer from Chile, but at this price it's a pretty good deal. let's you try various types. just don't expect anything life changing. you can get their high end labels from Vina Maipo 'Devocion' range. this can be found at FP Finest.

Think they have Shiraz,Merlot,Chardonnay,Cabernet Sauvignon,Sauvignon Blanc ranges for sale. just that really quite a lot of ppl stock them up coz got promoters. wanted to try but queue damn long.

Hey guys, I am new here! This thread is what made me register for HWZ actually. I can learn so much stuff about wine here. Hmm...so when's the next outing?

 

[ikileo]

@Beta_tester: how was the pinot? wine and cheese and a winning team is always fun

@reign: usually i'm not an advocate of airport wine. what you 'save' in the tax is covered up by increased markups. only a few of these wines are airport 'exclusive', most of them you can get outside or direct from distributor

@wackykid: yes
