Hi Julio and welcome to Snooth!

I would love to hear more about the Brazilian wine scene. My sister in law id from Belo Horizonte and they go down there twice a year. Just curious where I should head to if I ever join them?

I got this from a web site:

Main producing areas in Brazil

Brazil is a relatively new wine making country. Wine making traditions were brought to Brazil by many European immigrants that, from 19th century, began to plant vineyards particularly in the South of Brazil. Over the past fifteen years, there has been a remarkable leap in terms of technological innovation and management in wine making in Brazil. The quality of the Brazilian whites, reds and sparkling wines has been corroborated by over 1800 prizes awarded to the Brazilian wine makers to this date.

Wine in Brazil is produced within the complexity and diversity of regions situated along the traditional parallels 28° and 32° in the South and between parallels 8° and 9° in the Northeastern region of Brazil. The latter wine making region is the nearest to the Equator in the world yielding two harvests per year.

Currently, wine is produced in 88 thousand hectares and, according to the Geographical Indication standards, there are six wine making regions in Brazil:
 Serra Gaúcha - mountain range (part of Serra do Mar) in the northeast of the State of Rio Grande do Sul ( this is where I live )
 Campanha - southwestern region of the State of Rio Grande do Sul
 Serra do Sudeste - southeastern mountain range of State of Rio Grande do Sul
 Campos de Cima da Serra - flat highlands and coldest region in State of Rio Grande do Sul
 Planalto Catarinense - the plateau region of the State of Santa Catarina
 Vale do São Francisco - the basin of the São Francisco River (3,160 km) in the Northeast of Brazil ( this a fairly new area, trempranillo grapes mainly)
