I’m Famous In Chile

A few weeks ago I had a visitor to my Wine blog, they left their email so they could get updates. It seemed like the email was from Chile, so I sent them a message, come to find out they had Googled Chilean Grapes which took them to my blog. The person I found out is a famous journalist in Chile and wanted to write a little article about Chilean grapes and their use in the US. Here is a copy of the article, I made page 2 right behind President Obama!

Check it out.
