10 Winemakers, 1 Camera, 1 Question

A gorgeous carafe of
Apaltagua's Grial Carmenère.

During last month's trip to Chile (as a guest of Wines of Chile), I couldn't help but notice the energy and excitement among the winemakers.  They all spoke of their love for the country and the promise of finally moving beyond the stereotype of only producing value wines.

All of the winemakers—to a person—were absolutely energized by the future of the Chilean wine industry and, most importantly, working diligently to produce world-class wines.  Some are closer than others, but all seem to be unified in this singular goal.

In an effort to seize the moment, I asked 10 winemakers to tell me why the country is such a special and exciting place to make wine.

The video below shows what they had to say...
