Thinking about Chile…

March 1st, 2010 | Posted by Kirk

A scene from the city of Talca in Chile, where Pablo Molinos, a good friend of mine and fellow winemaker, lives. It took me quite a while to find out that he and his family were OK which was a little worrying. But such is the age of technology that despite the city having no lights or running water at the moment he somehow still managed to post a message on his Facebook page! It must sounds like it was quite terrifying at the time. The destruction seems quite widespread, not least of all in the regions many wineries. Pablo was out here for the 03 vintage and came back again to Sandihurst recently when we hosted a group of touring winemakers from around Chile.
