Pretty scary stuff though since you never really know what is in the bottle, be it fertilizer, coke etc Yeah the cocaine wine might well get 99 points, if the tester was still able to function after using it.

There's merit in the romance of the ceremony wouldn't you say? Albeit slightly old fashioned, I do enjoy seeing this tradition reenacted.

This wasn't one of our free articles from that issue, so that's probably about all I'd give away--I'm sure Chris probably has some additional thoughts.

Anyone have a list of wineries from Brazil that we should be watching?

There's money (Rolland is doing some consulting there), government backing (Wines from Brazil), and as Chris pointed out, immigrants from Europe who know what they are doing. $5 million in exports from the group of wineries that forms Wines from Brazil (18) was a goal they were on track to reach last year. This org. accounts for 85% of Brazil's exports at the moment. We just did a piece on Brazil in March–this place looks ripe to explode in the next ten years.

I discovered them on a few trips to Rio, where locals generally know little about the industry or just assume the wines cannot be good. All wrong. The sparkling wines are incredibly goodand there are enough Italians around especially in the colder south and a few valleys in the central area who know good wine growing country. The cabernets are very interesting and with vine age will get better. I suggest you try to hunt down some Brazilian sparkling as a starter. Leaves Cava looking simple.
