Work with Nivaldo Morales after the earthquake in 2o1o — grafting some bits with Garnacha & Monsatrell to complement the Cariñena. Cheers @matt.wilson.gc / @photos_in_Chile for tripping on an oldie but a goodie and sending it along. #gwcogente

GARAGE WINE CO🇨🇱
We are thrilled to bring to Ontario the amazing wines of Pilar and Derek from Itata and Maule Valleys.
If we had to choose an adjective to describe garagewineco , without any doubt it would be HANDCRAFTED, because this dynamic duo is not afraid of getting their hands dirty.
Farming the vineyards, harvesting, punch downs, pressing (!!!), painting and waxing bottles... everything is done by hand. And we cannot like it more.
Their response to natural disasters such as earthquakes and bushfires, or to unfair economic politics by the agro-gigants towards the small growers has always been to create solutions through viticulture and winemaking to help the most vulnerable ones, showing a huge commitment with their land and community. And we admire them A LOT for this🤘🏽👏🏼
Click the link in bio to see the amazing selection of wines available to pre-order right now! Estimated time of arrival to Ontario is March 2020, on time for Spring and patio parties! ~

Don’t let Pilar have it all. Get your case mixed case before Scrooge sees the real spirit of Christmas and buys them all! Https://garagewineco.cl/products/v12/ is a good place to start. #gwcogente

#gwcogente Cheers to the many who have been in touch to express concern. I am sorry to have been out of the loop. I found myself far away travelling with my eldest son when the troubles in Chile began. Upon returning I had surgery that kept me sidelined. I am on the mend, and it is time I chimed in as Chile seeks to heal.
Life here, in these times, is anything but normal. In the grand scheme of things, I have little to complain about in our circle of privilege. The day-to-day is somewhat affected (e.g., shops open erratic hours, travel is limited). Neighbors and friends are sharing meals (compartiendo la hoya) in a kind of informal community support group.
In towns and cities across the country, frustrated people have gathered to protest and to sing. Some have begun gathering formally in Cabildos to discuss change. Others have looted, vandalized and burned. We do not have the confrontation and violence here that there is in other neighborhoods. There is angst, little work gets done and there is a great deal of suffering for many—a kind of collective nervous breakdown.
Meanwhile close by dozens have lost their lives, and dodgy rubber police bullets have blinded many more. Thousands of small businesses have ground to halt creating a larger wave of instability and hardship coming behind. How can we break through the cycle of violence and chaos and move forward?
Last day cutting in Las Higueras (more fruit than expected in last cuarteles— good for all of us save the cellar master who is going to have to devise how to stuff it all in to the lagares available. #gwcoharvest2019 #gwcolashiguerasvineyard #gwcogente Raulito

Let’s make a mugrón - this is regenerative agriculture. It’s not about finding a nice old man to support, but rather rolling your sleeves up and working elbow to elbow. The flavour is in the farming. #gwcogente Colorindo
