| Good to know. Normally I wouldn't touch Concho y Toro. And I was surprised to see some obscure small-batch Chileans in a Manhattan wine store I respect.

| Concha y Toro is a huge conglomerate, so it's best to judge their wines individually, rather than a sweeping overview of everything they produce (kind of like Gallo in California). I've always had a soft spot for their carmenères, specifically from the Marques de Casa Concha line. Not so sure about a Pinot Noir from that region, just based on the climates that normally produce really good pinots noirs.

| Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I found almost a case of 2015 Colene Clemens Dopp Creek pinot yesterday. Wine Meddler Spectator gave it a 95 rating and a number 7 spot in the top 100 and so made it very sought after and rare. The 95 rating was absurd, It's a very, very good wine, especially at its price point of under $25. That's why I don't pay much attention to numbers. Tell me what it tastes like.

| Como Sur is pretty available and it is decent. They are really coming along, but, like in California whose pinots used to be pretty bad, it takes time to figure out how to work with that most finncicky grape.
