Argentina


I've found many delicious gems from Argentina. Here are a few of the top:

*Bodega Lurton
Pinot Gris 2007
Mendoza Argentina
(this one was one of my absolute faves!!!)

*Silvertop
Torrentes 2008
Mendoza
(Definitely check out this special grape varietal which is THE characteristic white wine of Argentina)

*Dona Paula Estate
Malbec 2007
Mendoza

*Trapiche
Syrah 2006 (Oak Cask)
Mendoza
(I've also had the Malbec from this vineyard--it's excellent, too!)
