Montes Special Fall Pricing!
Uncorked's favorite time of year: Fall! This is the season for new releases and holiday deals on our favorite wines. The only way to heighten our enjoyment of this special time of year is to pass the savings along to our clients.
Two weeks ago, we had the pleasure of meeting with and tasting through the wine selections from Aurelio Montes and his distinctive Chilean, Argentine and California portfolio in Charlotte, North Carolina. The tasting was lead by Aurelio and it was a unique opportunity to taste the Montes, Kaiken and Californian wines side by side.
Aurelio Montes
"Chairman and Winemaker. Head Winemaker with over 25 years experience at the Undurraga and San Pedro wineries. An extensively traveled man. In 1995, his colleagues granted him the "Chilean Winemaker of the Year" award. The SNA (National Agriculture Association) named him "Personality of the Year 2002”, and honor directly bestowed by the President of Chile. He has been a Wine Consultant for Fundación Chile (a Foundation created by ITT and the Chilean Government), for Casa Lapostolle, Echeverría, Santa Inés, San Carlos, Pisco Capel, amongst others. Our wines are proudly named after him: MONTES. Aurelio Montes is broadly renown by top trade magazines as the finest or one of the finest winemakers in Chile. In the 80`s and 90`s, his leadership brought a revolution to quality standards and his insight the discovery of the affluent Apalta and Marchigüe valleys, and the innovation of slope plantations. He is an Emeritus Member of the Chilean Wine Guild." - Winery Notes
We were pleased to find that despite all of his accolades and successes that Aurelio was warm, energetic, engaging, but most of all - funny! The tasting was a delight. Learning about his personal wine journey and the nuances of each project was enlightening and provided a deeper respect for both the man and the products. Uncorked looks forward to supporting these quality products for years to come!
