Dear Blake,

Thanks for your comment. Didn’t realize this about the cuisine, but it makes sense. It is nice to see the beauty of Costa Rica so well preserved.

Robert, Thanks for your comment. Actually we did have a bottle of sparkling brut from Concho Y Torro which was quite nice. Not made in traditional method, but refreshing on a hot day.

How about sparkling wines? I would imagine that a dry or off-dry champagne, proesecco or moscato d’ asti would be very nice.

I spent a few months in Costa Rica once, very near Manuel Antonio National Park. Beautiful place. But it is not a country that cares much about food. The best thing on the menu is “gallo pinto,” rice and black beans. They eat a lot of stewed beef, indifferently cooked steak, and fried potatoes. It’s not a country that takes wine very seriously either.

If you look into the history of Costa Rica, the reason is because the culture is shallow. There isn’t a long tradition of the same people in the same place. That’s also the reason the nature is so beautiful: The soils are harder to farm, so it was left alone, underpopulated. You get much better food in neighboring Nicaragua, but there’s a cost in converting beautiful forests to farmland.

Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thanks
