I’ve not had much luck with Chilean wines to be honest but that may be down to the quality of what is exported. I’ve had some excellent Argentinian Malbecs but not the ones at low prices and when they’re up against that price of French/Spanish/Italian reds it’s a hard sell.
I’ve not met many Argentinians but the ones I have are always sound. The Irish and Argentinians mix well. Lots of Irish emigrated to South America and Argentina in particular. There was a Mac Allister with ancestors from north Dublin their World Cup winning team and Che Guevara was descended from the Lynch tribe of Galway on one of his sides. There were actually a fair few Irish involved in the various independence movements and rebellions in South America, most famously O’Higgins in Chile, we’re good at stirring up a bit of an ole insurrection..
