Wines of Chile will be delighting the taste buds of New Yorkers with the country's best bottles.  To mark Chile's Independence Day on September 18, many of New York's highly acclaimed restaurants and best retail stores are participating in the fourth annual Salud! Chilean Wine Fest to offer consumers the opportunity to experience a variety of Chile's premium wines.  From Chile's unique grape variety, Carmenere and signature red grape, Cabernet Sauvignon, to the country's flagship white grape, Sauvignon Blanc, Salud! will allow consumers to familiarize themselves with Chile's most celebrated wines and diverse terroirs.  The festival runs through September 30. 

 

Wine aficionados and amateurs alike are invited to visit any of the 34 participating restaurants, whose sommeliers will be featuring a selection of special Chilean wines by the glass during the festival.  In addition, 12 wine retailers will be offering free in-store Chilean wine tastings throughout the two weeks and will sample some of Chile's emerging varieties such as Pinot Noir and Syrah. 

 

"The Salud! Chilean Wine Fest enables consumers to experience some of Chile's signature and emerging grape varietals while educating themselves on the country's diverse offerings.  The timing of the Wine Fest couldn't be more perfect as consumers continue to seek great quality at a better value," explains Lori Tieszen, Executive Director, Wines of Chile USA.  "To satisfy their needs, consumers should be thrilled to know that Chile produces top quality wines that are comparable at $10 - $20 to many higher priced Old World selections, in addition to other delicious wines at higher price points."
