Chile (Casablanca) - Matetic 3.16.10

Only two days in the Casablanca region due to the earthquake and our extented stay in Patagonia. Matetic was recommended to us by our friends at Peay. We did not have time to hit up the tasting room so the best we could do is taste a couple of the wines during our lunch.

Unfortunately, I have lost my notes... Ugh.

So I will leave it at this. We did sample their EQ Sauvignon Blanc (refer to my Lima, Peru posts) with lunch along with the Corralillo Chardonnay (lower end). Neither did anything to stand out. I also had a glass of the EQ Pinot Noir.

Anyway, can't recall what I thought but I am fairly sure it wasn't a wow. I would say that it is worth a try but don't lose any sleep over it.

Lunch was fair. The atmosphere was a little stuffy and they didn't really seem to welcome us (with Dagny) in tow. Didn't quite get that since all tourism had pretty much dried due to the earthquake. Oh well, I won't dwell because it would not be fair to opine without my notes memorializing the visit.
