1000 Corks Arrives in Chile to join 2011 Start-Up Chile Team
In May, we at 1000 Corks learned that we'd been invited to join an innovative program offered and funded by the Chilean government, Start-Up Chile. Not only are we thrilled to live in Chile and experience everything it has to offer us, but we are also excited to use this opportunity to improve your user experience on 1000 Corks.
If you have feedback on your experience with the site, this is the time to let us know. We happily accept suggestions for new online wine stores to add or change, as well as how we can improve your search results or provide more information on your favorite wines.
In the meantime, we'd like to share our initial experiences in Santiago, Chile. A featured menu item, Pisco Sour, is one of our favorite Chilean drinks. Pisco, the liquor that Pisco Sour is based on, is similar to brandy or port, originally distilled from grapes they felt were not suited for wine. The origins of Pisco are claimed by multiple Latin American countries, so we'll leave that for the lawyers - but suffice it to say that Pisco works very well in a Pisco Sour.
Pisco Sour is a cocktail in Chile and Peru which is often cheaper than bottled water in a restaurant. It consists of Pisco, lemon or lime, egg white, simple syrup, and bitters. If you enjoy all things sweet and sour, you'll enjoy this drink.
For anyone who wants to know more about what's happening with all of the start-ups and people involved in our program, we've created a new site that aggregates the blogs of all the participants. It's at Chilean Startups and is updated every hour.
Salud!

Are those both pisco sours? The one on the left seems too dark.
