Wines of Chile Blogger Tasting

I will be participating in a Wines of Chile Blogger tasting this evening from 7-9pm EST. We will be tasting 8 different Chilean Sauvignon Blancs from different regions. Master Sommelier, Fred Dexheimer will be answering questions along with the winemakers from the wineries of the wines we'll be tasting.

I will be twittering about the tasting, and I'm sure other bloggers will too, so feel free to follow along by searching the hashtag #SBChile.

I'll be posting an extensive review of the wines after the tasting along with some other info on Chilean wines. 

Enjoy!
