Berlin Wine Tastings
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Berlin Wine Tastings have highlighted the quality of Chilean wines. The four tastings to date, using the same set of wines, have produced varying results.
The tasters evaluated two vintages each of eight top wines from France, Italy and Chile. In each tasting, wine lovers blind tasted two vintages each of Château Latour, Château Lafite, Château Margaux, Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve, Sassicaia, Seña, Tignanello, and Viñedo Chadwick.
