I posted previously about 29 DOCGs only to learn through reader comments it's now 44! Thanks for the tips though. I hope that when I take the next test, they'll incorporate info like this into the revised edition.k2https://www.blogger.com/profile/06285822252429896813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383916150718856487.post-21873271914531093322009-06-15T11:46:41.932-07:002009-06-15T11:46:41.932-07:00Definitely looks like you are soaking in the knowl...Definitely looks like you are soaking in the knowledge!<br /><br />I recently used to represent Chile (don't anymore) and I have some thoughts. You obviously have been studying harder than I, and the official book may say something different that what I have to say, so take the below as just some friendly comments. <br /><br />1) The Atacama desert is the driest in the world and in the south you have Patagonia (not quite Antarctica)<br /><br />2) If you are including Rapel as a valley instead of splitting it into Colchagua and Cachapoal, then Rapel would be the largest.<br /><br />6) only in country. if the wine is exported the number is 85.<br /><br />10) There is another region more southern called Malleco, although very few wines come from there.<br /><br />I hope that helps!Rob Bralowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07210894629687612702noreply@blogger.com
