Adventures of Barbara Keck: Chile & Argentina 2012

When I won the essay contest at the Wine Bloggers Conference, Winebow (a large importer to the USA of wines from South America and elsewhere) included me on 2012 a media-fam ("media familiarization") trip with 12 other wine experts, wine writers, travel writers, chefs, and one astounding photographer to the wine region of Chile near Santiago, and the wine region of Argentina near Mendoza.

IF you want to read about this all-expenses-paid wine trip, here are the details. http://winebiznews.blogspot.com/2012/03/magical-media-tour-part-1.html
