Summary
For many years, the world saw Chile as a source of cheap and cheerful wines.
Chadwick initiated blind tastings of fine Chilean wines around the world and matching them against the world's best, starting with the famous Berlin Tasting in 2004 .
Like the famous Judgment of Paris in 1976 that showed the quality of Californian wine, the Berlin tasting in 2004 also benchmarked relatively unknown wines against the world's best.
At the Berlin tasting against First Growth Bordeaux and the best Italian Bordeaux blends, Chilean wines came first, second and fourth out of the 16 wines judged.
Since 2004, Eduardo Chadwick has repeated the Berlin format in most of the world's major wine capitals.
Multiple vintages of Sena, now one of Chile's great wines, have been tasted against multiple vintages of other iconic wines from France and Italy, including the famous first growths of France.
Chadwick is interested in wine education and has been a principal supporter of the Institute of Masters of Wine since 1999 .
