Korea is well known for its kimchi, Korean barbecue, K-drama, K-pop, soju, milky makgeolli and beer, but no one ever mentions wine. Why not?
South Korea has similar latitudes as France in the northern hemisphere and New Zealand in the southern hemisphere. Still, their harsh cold winters and humid, warm summers are not considered conducive to quality wine production. So imagine my delight as an avid wine lover of French heritage when I discovered Chateau Mani, a 20 minutes train ride from Daejeon where I was staying.
