Drive beyond the dusty provincial towns and the Chilean landscape
is carpeted with 1?4 million acres of grapes that ripen perfectly
in bright sunlight, warm days, and cool evenings. Labor, land, and
grape prices are low, so Chilean wineries can make high quality
wines at a fraction of the cost of those in California, Australia
or Europe. Walker Elliott Rowe weaves a narrative of the Chilean
people and culture, introducing the reader to many characters both
inside and outside the wine business. The towering Andes Mountains
are not the only item looming over the Chilean horizon-this
progressive country, where the sentiment for socialism is strong,
is still dealing with the ghosts of the former military dictator.
Through his narrative, Rowe illustrates the irony of Chile's strong
system of capitalism that leaves most people working long hours at
low wages.
