Flying Home

A day off in Santiago - met two more of Tom's school friends. Both in wine and loving Chilean life (we already met another in Mendoza). Am now on board for home.

Blown away by the progress here since early visits ... Santiago is unrecognisable. A very classy, clever and brave new country ... the new wines - like the new, vertiginous vineyards - are really reaching for the skies.

Even more impressed by Argentina last week. Twenty years ago; world's fifth largest wine producer but nowhere in the quality race. Today; the wine the whole world wants more than any other? Argentine Malbec!

And Yves just sent me his shot of me and beautiful Alta ... Dear Alta, I shall miss you!

Back to Britain.
