Argentine Wine Dinner at The National, 3/3/10
Less is More… It seems like everyone is talking about Argentina these days, and for good reason. The vineyards down south are producing great wines at a great price. Although mostly known for their inky-red Malbecs, Argentina’s whites just might be the next sleeper hit.
