We have two light and inexpensive wines from Spar this week.

Chile first made its name on the international stage with cabernet sauvignon. The wines provided a less expensive alternative to Bordeaux. Since then, Chile has seduced us with sauvignon blanc, merlot, pinot noir and other wines too. Both the wines below are well-made fruity types that can be enjoyed with or without food.
