It’s been so long since I had this dinner that I can barely remember where it was held; thankfully I took copious notes (which I just found). This dinner was hosted by Adolfo Hurtado, head winemaker of Cono Sur and was in honour of the new brand re-launch and update of the labels. We’ve all seen Cono Sur wines on the shelf at our local liquor store – and most likely you have bought a bottle or two based on their amazing price-point … then you probably bought a few more bottles based on the quality that was in the bottle: price + value + good tasting wine = a consistently good buy – and that’s what Cono Sur wines are all about.
Tonight we tasted 10 wines, including two bubblies, three Chardonnay, two Pinot Noirs, a Syrah and two Cabernets – here’s my take on my top 6 … really it’s a Top 5 with a special mention: (check out the wines and the pictures, here)
