Nice travelogue about Chile,

This review is from: My Chilean Wine Odyssey: A Week Touring the Wine Country of Chile (Paperback)
This book, which I stumbled across when looking for info about Chile to prepare for my upcoming trip there, is a nice little read. There are no dramatic insights or presumptuous prose, just a narrative of the author's trip with lots of little details to give you a flavor of what his one-week wine tour with the Morande winery company was like. Recommended reading if you're planning to go to the Santiago area, or considering such a trip.

No information on Chilean wines,
By "tlanpher2" (Half Moon Bay, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Chilean Wine Odyssey: A Week Touring the Wine Country of Chile (Paperback)
This book is a thorough disappointment. The author visited one winery in Chile. He has no background in evaluating wine, he gives no description of the overall industry or wine regions of Chile, and no real discussion of Chilean wines. Given this lack of substance you might expect at least a charming travelogue. But alas, to add insult to injury, this journal reads like a high schooler's first trip, complete with descriptions of parking at O'Hare, hotel gym facilities, etc. It is hard to understand how this book got published.

Sauvignon Boring,

This review is from: My Chilean Wine Odyssey: A Week Touring the Wine Country of Chile (Paperback)
This book contains very little information on Chilean wines and not enough insight into Chilean culture. I don't want to call the author racist but I got the impression that he views Chileans as second class people. Like it was so much for him to ACTUALLY consider THESE people his friends.
I was also shocked when I opened the book and found it to be published in double space format, not very professional at all.
