+--- Thread: red wine- devils cellar (/thread-18127.html)

I'm looking for a red wine for a friend. I'm not sure where this particular wine originates from. But there's a story attached to it, the wine producer but out a rumour that the cellar was guarded by the devil in order to prevent the village people from stealing his wines hence the name which means devil's/satan's cellar in english

The wine you refer to is Concha y Toro "Casellero el Diablo" from Chile. They make several, but the cab is particularly good.

Thamks Jason, for your helpful advise. Would you have any idea if the Concha y Toro are available in the republic of Ireland and if so, a guide price for the above.

I don't know if this is available in Ireland, but if you guys get any Chilean wine at all you will get this one. They are the most prominent name from that country. That line from Concha should retail $11 US.

That's the back-label story of Casillero del Diablo from Cousino Macul in
Chile.

It's Casillero del Diablo, but Jason's right, it's made by Conch y Toro, not Cousino Macul. The agency for Concha y Toro in the Republic of Ireland is held by Findlater (Wine Merchants) Ltd, which have retail premises at 10 Upper Hatch Street in Dublin. I see you live in Dublin, so that's handy, but if you want to ring them, their telephone number is (+353) 1 475 1699. Hope you have a devil of a good time.
