But they can, very successfully, as one – Chile – is currently proving. Don t take my word alone for that. Chile is one of the wine places on which award-garlanded writer Tim Atkin reports annually, and his latest verdict is compelling: I am excited by what is happening. There has been a huge transformation in my wine writing lifetime.
