Greetings!

A GREAT WINE TASTING @ BURDIGALA

Wine aficionados used to be turning to Latin America for good quality, inexpensive wines. They now turn to this region for high-end wines at an affordable price as well. We have been fans of these wines from the beginning and offered plenty of South American wine tastings since our opening.
We try to make it better every time, and this time will be so good that in order to make it better next time, the wine makers in the Southern Hemisphere will have to work even harder!
We will offer a free tasting of the best value wines and a flight of exceptional but still affordable wines from this region of the world.

And for the first time, we will offer case and half a case samplers through our newsletter and website. You can pre-order your wine, pick-it up, or have it sent to your address (S&H cost will be applied).

Maipo Valley Medalla Real Special Reserve

Broad-shouldered, with lots of tobacco, currant paste and loam notes backed by a muscular structure. The dark, dense finish shows hints of cedar and roasted vanilla. Has lots of Pauillac-like grip. A terrific value. Drink now through 2014. 35,000 cases made. -JM
