This South American wine producing country is wonderfully diverse and offers fantastic value. From its Torrontes in the "North" where the highest vineyards on Earth are located, to the famous Mendoza Malbecs (in the mid-region of Cuyo) and to the cold-windswept Patagonia in the far south where Pinot Noir and sparkling are a driving force. And while Mendoza does produce around two-thirds of the wine in this high-altitude vine heaven, don't disregard her other regions...
You can find plenty of Argentine wine in government and private wine stores and taste a mountain more at the upcoming Vancouver Playhouse Wine Festival - April 19-25, 2010 where they will share the spotlight with the wines of New Zealand. See you there!
