Kudos to Chilean wineries Concha y Toro, Undurraga, Leyda, Santa Rita, and Cono Sur for being named the top five “Most Admired Wine Brands” in South America by Drinks International Magazine.

It’s a clean sweep of the the South American Category for the five.  And the cherry on top was that  Concha picked up the #1 Most Admired Wine Brand in the world award…for the THIRD TIME!

I’ve always gotten a smile from the Cono Sur brand.  It’s a pun in Spanish and English…Cono Sur means Southern Cone in Spanish but is a homonym for connoisseur in English.
