Regulars on these boards know of my "issues" with wines from the "wrong" side of the Andes... however, I will say that some Chilean whites offer good value for money. Its more difficult with the reds... in this category Chile cannot match the depth Argentina offers... climate and soils are also issues. Its a little known fact that many Chilean producers buy juice in Argentina to improve their own stuff, and of course various Chilean firms have been producing Malbec in Argentina for many years as they cant be succesful overseas with only their home grown stuff...
