South America was the focus of last month's Vancouver International Wine Festival, and this week's show takes a closer look at Argentinian and Chilean wines with some stellar guests. Recorded live inside the Tasting Room at the fest, we begin with superstar Dr. Laura Catena, fourth generation of Argentina's Catena Zapata; then we discover Chile through the eyes of Jaime Merino, for Viña Santa Ema, Matias Jahn, representing Viña Errázuriz and finally Aurelio Montes Jr, Chief Winemaker and second generation for Montes, who also speaks on Chile's primary variety, Carménère.
