South America's wine-making history mirrors California's. It began in the 1700s when Spanish
colonists grew grapes to make sacramental wine, and missions were established to cultivate this valuable
product for the Catholic Church. Unlike California, however, South America has only recently gained attention
as a wine producer. And what fine vino it offers - lush, ripe, and fruity! We at ENO encourage you to sample
varieties from South America's two top wine-producing nations: Argentina and Chile.
-
Argentina - The world's fourth-largest wine producer, Argentina has a
strong multicultural identity. Immigrants from Spain, Italy, France, and Germany brought native European
vines that helped create a vibrant and diverse Argentinean flavor.
-
Chile - Chile's first winemakers were Spanish missionaries. In the 1800s, when Chile
became independent of Spanish rule, the newly prosperous upper class began traveling to Europe, and came to
appreciate the fine French wines. By importing cuttings of French vines, Chileans found that they could
produce a superior class of wines. Today, Chile is the world's most important source of inexpensive
varietals and (thanks to American and French investment) is a growing wine power.
Being an enophile is more than appreciating great wine - it's a lifestyle. At ENO, we celebrate good taste with
a world-class array of international wines, cheese, and chocolates. Attracting both novices and aficionados, ENO
is a casual, educational, and most important, fun tasting experience.
