Michel Rolland gave an exclusive interview to AndesWines.com where he radically changed his vision of Chilean Wines- in fact - now, few days ago confirmed that “Chile has progressed very much during the last 15 years and numerous wines, today, show the enormous potential of this country. The history is only beginning and Chile will confirm the leadership in the major producing wine countries in the world.” He also refers to new wine regions in Argentina since it is an interesting part of his profession. "Rio Negro, due to the latitude and the South of Buenos Aires are new wine areas that need to be explored and where the viticulture is recent. I have always liked to work for new projects. Rio Negro is a land that has possibilities to produce real quality wines” |

FRENCH WINE PROVES A DROP LESS ORDINARY
|
 |
SOME career crossovers are obvious. Sportsmen go into coaching, chefs turn proprietor and underpaid journalists often descend into the mediocrity that is public relations. When you are the king of a frozen food empire, however, it may seem a bit odd in delving into the world of viticulture. While food and wine have always been complimentary, when was the last time you heard someone exclaim "Goodness gracious, you must try that pouilly-fume, it goes absolutely marvelously with those frozen fish fingers?" |

FRENCH WINE: NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION
|
 |
By Marcela Burgos Abad
No wonder what Bordeaux’s wine producers new year’s resolution was. The world could almost hear the words “reconquer”, “North America” and “Europe”. I read in the last edition of Drinks International: “(At the international wine challenge 2005) Australian performance was eclipsed by a surging France” and I could not avoid thinking how silly these words would have sounded a couple of years ago… |
