Argentina - Wines of Passion!
Stretching from the Andes to Patagonia, Argentina’s unique terroir lends to high quality wines. Formerly associated with inexpensive bulk wine but dramatically shifting focus from quantity to quality, Argentina is now the most important wine-producing country in South America. Join us as we taste handcrafted wines made by small and passionate grape growers practicing sustainable viticulture for generations!
The Wines
Areyna Torrontes $14.99 The Wild Card!
A fresh and aromatic wine with a tight profile, elegant tension and beautiful citrus notes.
Bodini Rose of Malbec $16.99
A bright and clean Rosé with aromas of fresh red fruits like cherry and strawberry with subtle notes of spice and pepper. The palate is balanced and medium-bodied.
Pair with brunch foods such as mushroom quiche or strawberry topped waffles.
Casarena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon $17.99
The 2015 vintage shows subtle aromas of fig, cassis, and dark fruits on the nose. The mouth feel is full and rich with notes of chocolate and spices. The finish shows finely grained tannins and bright acidity.
Pairs well with grilled pork tacos, stuffed peppers, and meatloaf.
La Posta Pizzella Malbec $14.99 Silvia’s Favorite!
Dense, dark berry and plum flavors along with hints of sandalwood and spice, and even a hint of violets in the finish. This is a full-bodied and well-structured wine that is incredibly full of life and born to be enjoyed with food and friends.
Decero Owl and the Dust Devil $33.99
92p Wine &Spirits, 90 p Wine Spectator
Decero bases all its wines on fruit from Remolinos, a vineyard in the highest part of Agrelo. This bottling is based on malbec (43 percent), which sets out a lovely layer of violet-scented cherry fruit, while cabernet sauvignon, tannat and petit verdot provide firmness and flavor detail. A complex wine to pour with rosemary-braised lamb
