Wine

Concha y Toro VinesLong before I ever considered living in Chile, working as a waitress at Paradise Grille in Parkersburg, WV, I knew Chile for one reason: I sold Concha y Toro’s Casillero del Diablo wine to customers. It was a great up-sale story: Back when the winery was first producing, they noticed that barrels were disappearing. You see, the wine was so good that the work-hands would sneak in at night and steal barrels of it. So, the owner moved the cellar underground, swearing it to be possessed by the Devil. The workers, very superstitious, apparently never stole another barrel. So now the wine is known as Casillero del Diablo, the Devil’s Locker.

I told that story hundreds of times. It was like some unseen sign. And here I am in Chile, less than an hour from the actual winery. And of course, I have been there, felt the cool air of the Devil’s Locker. Even though I wrote an article for work on the tour, I wanted to include more photos and details here, personalize it a bit more.

You see, this was a great experience because I got to do it with my lovely mother and aunt. The day they arrived, beaten a bit from a 5,000-mile journey, I drug them to Concha y Toro for a wine tour and tasting. The day was beautiful and I think everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Chile is famous for their wine, and rightfully so. If you’ve never tried a good camenere, I highly recommend Concha y Toro’s Casillero del Diablo Carmenere. Carmenere is a robust, earthy red grape that originated in France. However, Chile is now known for the grape as they revived this delicious variety. Go buy a bottle!
