How has Argentina's wine culture evolved over the years? Sommelier and Pain et Vin owner Eleanora Jezzi joins us from Buenos Aires to dive into Argentina's deep-rooted wine traditions. We discuss the country's signature Malbec and Torrontés, how historical and economic shifts have shaped winemaking, and why younger generations are embracing simpler, more natural wines. Plus, why do I like Chardonnay in Argentina but not elsewhere? Tune in to discover the unique flavors and stories behind Argentine wine!

Haily Sundet, our Froggy Wine Specialist, of Republic National Distributing is back with another episode of Wine Wednesday.  Wine Wednesday is sponsored by Bottle Barn Liquors, with 3 Fargo locations.  This week's wine: Piattelli Torrontes  Winemaker Notes: Piattelli Torrontés comes from the Torrontés Riojano grape, a crisp and complex grape considered the best of the sub-varietals. Grown at 5,890 feet elevation, where extreme thermal amplitudes produce grapes bursting with flavor. Piattelli Torrontés is an elegant rendition of this varietal showcasing the freshness and floral qualities this wine is known for, moderated lightly with oak. Delicious paired with spicy foods.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A continuación leeré una semblanza redactada por Rafa y Mali:“Tenemos la certeza de que en todas las grandes historias de la humanidad hay vino de por medio. Lo vemos claro – Homero antes de escribir su epopeya – un sorbo de vino blanco, leukós, y luego la flecha de Paris que cae en el talón de Aquiles. Las bodegas de la Niña, la Pinta y la Santa María repletas de vinos de Toro provisto por Fray Diego de Deza. George y Benjamin que brindan con Oporto luego de la firma del acta de independencia el 4 de julio de 1776. A Churchill le gustaba el whisky, pero como esta es nuestra historia, digamos que le gustaban los vinos de Coahuila y que bebió Pinot Noir de la Sierra de Arteaga antes del desembarco de Normandía. La nuestra es una historia bastante menor en trascendencia mundial pero para nosotros más entrañable. Nos conocimos con una copa de vino en la mano. Así nos enamoramos. Como muchos empezamos bebiendo lo que había en casa: los Riojas y los Riberas. Pero muy pronto la frescura y acidez de los blancos irrumpieron en nuestras vidas para quedarse. ¡Y viva la Torrontés y la Hondarribi Zuri y la Sauvignon Blanc! Somos una pareja de sommeliers que en un buen día de locura decidimos divertirnos y hacer una línea de vinos: Mali, Vinos de Corazón, que nace para acercar a las personas en una conversación, como pretexto perfecto para contar anécdotas, para el desayuno del domingo y las tardes del sábado. Mali Vinos de Corazón es un proyecto vinícola de Querétaro, México que tiene 4 etiquetas: un tinto y un rosado de Syrah y Grenache, y dos blancos, un Xarel-lo y un Sauvignon Blanc. Mali, diminutivo de Mariana, es sommelier profesional por la Escuela Española de Sommeliers en México y la Universidad Mondragón.

Describimos la cepa blanca por excelencia Argentina Torrontès.

Willkommen zu einer weiteren vinophilen Rundreise durch die Weinbauländer unseres Planeten! Heutiges Ziel: Argentinien. Die einzigartige geographische Lage des Landes sorgt für ein Klima, das geradezu gemacht ist für den Anbau von Wein. Lou nimmt Dich mit nach Mendoza, San Juan und Patagonien, schenkt Dir samtigen Malbec und aromatischen Torrontés ein und verrät, was die argentinischen Weine im Cool Climate Stil so besonders macht. Wein der Woche: Grecikos Imiglykos rot lieblich Dieser unaussprechlich geniale Rotwein aus Griechenland überzeugt durch feine Beerenaromen und eine angenehme Säure. Und obwohl „Imiglykos“ das griechische Wort für „halbsüß“ ist, präsentiert er sich im Geschmack eher lieblich. Laut Lou ein perfekter Begleiter zur griechisch-würzigen Küche. Frage der Woche: Wie beeinflusst die Höhenlage den Geschmack des argentinischen Malbecs? Die Weinberge Argentiniens liegen in einer Höhe von 600 bis über 3000 Metern. Die intensive Sonneneinstrahlung in den höheren Lagen verstärkt die Farbpigmentierung und die Aroma-Konzentration. Die kühlen Nächte helfen wiederum, die Säure in den Beeren zu bewahren. Die durch das Klima bedingte langsamere Reifung ermöglicht somit eine ausgeglichene Entwicklung von Zucker, Säure, Aromen und Farbe. Genau das Richtige für Deine Weinprobe und zum Üben von Verkostungen: Das Cheers! Aromarad https://www.edeka.de/services/edeka-medien/cheers-podcast/index.jsp Lust auf den perfekten Weinmoment?

Which types of global dishes can you pair with South American wines? What's one of the best but little-known Chilean wine regions you need to try? Which types of wine do they make in other South American countries, such as Uruguay, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Amanda Barnes, author of The South America Wine Guide. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway One of you is going to win a copy of Amanda's beautiful hardcover book, The South America Wine Guide. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose two people randomly from those who contact me.  Good luck!   Highlights How did Argentina's flagship white wine, Torrontés, develop and where is it grown? Which types of food pair best with Torrontés and Malbec? How does the iconic Argentinian empanada vary across different regions? What is unique about how Fernet is consumed in Argentina? How did the pandemic contribute to the craft gin and craft vermouth movement in Argentina? How do the wine production volume and cultural attitudes towards wine vary between Argentina and Chile? What were the main challenges that were uncovered by the discovery of Carmenère in Chile? How did Tannat become the signature grape of Uraguay, and what's unique about its growing requirements? How did Peru become the first wine country in South America, and what's behind the current wine renaissance? Which wines from Bolivia should you try, and what's behind their unique characteristics? How has the Brazilian wine industry evolved over the years? What does Amanda love about mountain white wines like Altos Las Hormigas Blanco? What is it about Viñedos de Alcohuaz that gives it a beautiful tasting experience? Why is an ice bag Amanda's favourite wine gadget?   Key Takeaways I enjoyed hearing Amanda's recommendations for which types of global dishes you can pair with South American wines. The highly aromatic Torrontes can handle equally flavourful dishes. Amanda has inspired me to try more wines from Chile's Elqui Valley. It's amazing that some vineyards are planted at 2,200 metres above sea level. I was interested to learn more about the types of wine they make in other South American countries, such as Uruguay, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil. I didn't realize that Peru was the first wine region in South America.   About Amanda Barnes Amanda Barnes is an award-winning British journalist and editor who specializes in wine and travel writing.

Dicen de los argentinos que hablan español, visten como italianos, se comportan como franceses, y se creen que son ingleses. Una cosa está clara, es un pueblo que todo lo hace con pasión, incluido el tema que hoy nos ocupa, el vino. Porque si tradicionalmente la bebida nacional de Chile es el pisco, en Argentina es sin duda el vino, seguramente por el hecho de que apenas existió exportación de este producto hasta hace tan solo unas tres décadas. En este episodio tienes una primera parte para entender los vinos de Argentina con una visión general de un pueblo tan maravilloso como sus vinos. Terminaremos clara (mente) con una llamada al señor Zambudio, con otro negocio de vinos (o no) entre manos, y un recado muy especial en forma de canción.

Argentina perdió, ya lo sabemos pero nosotros igual seguimos en esta de catar. Lean nos trajo un torrontés de Salta para demistificar que el vino blanco no es vino y pudimos aventurarnos a tirar algunos maridajes.

Nuestro sommelier Julián Ontivero trae unos vinos Torrontés y Malbec de La Mencía para que degustemos. Luego tratamos de defendernos entre todos pero sin querer nos enterramos más.

Interview with Amanda Barnes, author of The South America Wine Guide. We discuss grape varieties which are largely only found in the diverse continent: País/Criolla Chica, Torrontés, Vischoqueña, Quebranca, and others. A great insight into the wines of South America, not just Argentina and Chile, but Bolivia and Peru too.

For this show, we discuss a list of lovely reds and whites that you won't see on other lists for spring wines. Etna from Sicily? Check. Chignin Bergeron from Savoie in France? Yup. If you're looking for a change from the norm and a great spring list, here it is!  As promised, here is the list...with some example labels to make shopping easy (see the winefornormalpeople.com/blog for label examples)   With its medium body, excellent acidity, and minerally flavors, Etna Rosso from Sicily is a must have for spring. It can gracefully handle grilled food as well as it does mushroom risottos! The bonus wine: Etna Bianco, made of the Carricante grape. Similar nature, but with a greater hit of acidity and a cheek coating texture. Taste the volcano!    As we called it in the Chardonnay episode, Jura is the Bizarro Burgundy. It's just across the Bresse plain and grows similar grapes...except when it doesn't. In the Arbois region, light, spicy, peppery reds of Poulsard and Trousseau can be lovely on a spring evening with salads, morel mushrooms, and flavorful fish like salmon. The bonus wines: sparkling Crémant from the Jura made of Chardonnay and becoming more widely available OR Chignin Bergeron, aka Roussanne, from the neighboring region, Savoie. That peachy, herbal, fuller body with good acidity is great when there’s still a chill in the air but you still want to stay outside!   Bordeaux, M.C. Ice’s favorite. For spring, a white Bordeaux with a large proportion of the waxy, peachy, sautéed herb, honeycomb flavored/textured Sémillon is nice as the nights warm up. Sauvignon Blanc gives these blends excellent acidity and herbal aromatics but you just need a touch of that when we’re dealing with spring. The great part about Bordeaux Blanc? You can switch to Sauvignon Blanc heavy blends in the summer for a more refreshing bottle! I recommend steering clear of Bordeaux Blanc and Bordeaux Blanc Superieur (unless you know the producer) and seeking out wines from the Côtes de Bordeaux (label examples below). If you can swing it, get a wine from Pessac-Leognan – the best areas for whites in Bordeaux. The bonus wines: Merlot heavy red blends from the Côtes de Bordeaux—Castillon and Francs are the more serious areas but Blaye may be the most refreshing for our spring hit list. No list of mine is complete without Alsace, France. However, this time I’m switching up my regular Riesling reco and instead recommending Pinot Gris. We’re not in summer yet and the nights can have a nip, so Alsace Pinot Gris, with pear, citrus, white flower, and smoke notes, and a medium body will be a versatile sipper. It goes so well with onion tartlets, mushroom quiche, and chicken in herbal and citrus preparations! The bonus wine: Yup, I’m doing it. Pinot Grigio. No, not the alcoholic lemon water! The good stuff from Trentino Alto-Adige. If you get a case, try the Pinot Gris and the Pinot Grigio together to see the similarities and differences. Pinot Grigio will be nuttier with higher acidity and more lemon notes, but the similarity will be far greater between these two wines than if you get a cheapy from the bottom shelf of the grocery!   Rosé. Here’s the one on everyone’s list, but rightfully so. Fresh rosé is released in the springtime and there is nothing better than newly released rosé. Provence is the standard – especially from sub regions like Sainte-Victoire, Frejus, and La Londe. We forgot to mention Tavel and Bandol in the show, which are always homeruns. Rosé is versatile in pairing – fried foods, grilled salmon, strawberry salads with goat cheese, and pasta with pesto (pistou as it’s known in Provence) are some options. Bonus wines: Other styles of rosé, especially California with its sun kissed styles from Pinot Noir or Spanish rosé from Tempranillo, Garnacha, or Monastrell are outstanding and great for a contrast against the lighter Provence style. Italian rosato can be wonderful as well and is made in most regions from their local grapes.   The last one was really “Sophie’s Choice” for me. I couldn’t decide between Malbec and Torrontés from high elevation Salta in Argentina or Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from cool climate Casablanca from Chile. Ultimately the floral, peachy yet acidic and slightly bitter Torrontés from Cafayate/Salta and its intense, yet elegant counterpart Malbec from the same region seemed to be best for us. M.C. Ice astutely pointed out that for people living in hotter areas where spring becomes summer-like quickly, the high acidity and refreshing lighter notes in the Chilean wines were the winners. Either way, you can’t go wrong!   Happy Spring! We hope you drink well, and that this list gives you at least one new idea to try as the days heat up slowly over the next few months.   __________________________________________________ Thanks to our sponsors: Thanks to YOU! The podcast supporters on Patreon, who are helping us to make the podcast possible and who we give goodies in return for their help!

Og er Argentinsk Malbec Toscanas og Sangioveses kusine den aldrig har mødt? Malbecs aroma og muskler kunne snildt spille op til oksebøffer eller Portobellosvampe på grillen.  Vi skal også en tur forbi druen Tannat, som spiller 2. violin i den sidste vin. Hvad kan den?

Fue en Argentina en donde se dio la cruza de la variedad blanca Moscatel de Alejandría y la variedad tinta Criolla Chica y nació el TORRONTÉS. El Torrontés tiene ADN argentino. Es parte de nuestro patrimonio cultural. Año a año se suman nuevos adeptos de esta variedad, que tal vez, corridos por creer que era una cepa menor no le prestaban atención y que hoy ha logrado un notable reconocimiento en el mercado. - Dolores Lavaque, docente del Centro Argentino de Vinos y Espirituosas, CEO de la Consultora STG y autora de "Las viñas del cielo" y "En la cima. Salta y sus vinos". Ella será la encargada de contarnos parte del recorrido que realizó por la ruta de vino salteño para la realización de sus libros. - José Luis Mounier, conocido como el Sr Torrontés. Reconocido enólogo argentino y requerido por distintas bodegas para entender la precisión de esta cepa de uva blanca. - Carmen Perez, coordinadora de comunicación del Fondo Vitivinícola. Ella nos hablará del trabajo que realizá el Fondo para promover y promocionar el Torrontés en Argentina y el mundo. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/agiten-copas/message

O episódio n.42 do nosso PODCAST fala sobre 5 uvas brancas que encontraram suas regiões favoritas no mundo: Pinot Grigio, Albariño, Gewürztraminer, Viognier e Torrontés.

The biddies continue the passport tour with an introduction to Argentina. While they’ve touched briefly on Argentine Malbec in past episodes, in today’s episode they get into Bonarda (red varietal) and Argentina’s native Torrontés(white varietal). As per usual they attempt to keep it together while sipping on their respective wines and covering Argentina’s regions and appellation system more broadly.   Wines Featured: Kara: Bodega Colomé Torrontés Calla: LAMARDRID Bonarda For more: boozybiddies.com/12

Originária da Espanha a uva Torrontés se adaptou muito bem ao Terroir Argentino e tornou-se a sua uva branca emblemática. Saiba um pouco mais sobre esse vinho assistindo ao nosso áudio.

Salta, Argentina contains the highest altitude vineyards in the world and some of the most unique wines. At these heights, UV radiation changes the grapes so in this tiny, remote area, the wines contain flavors and character you won't find from anywhere else! Here are the show notes: ______ Overview: Salta is at 24˚-26˚S latitude in the northwest of the country, 1500 km/930 miles northwest of Buenos Aires Extreme altitude, extreme sunlight makes powerful, structured wines with a savory minerality The area has been most famed for Torrontés, which is widely planted across wine regions, beautiful aromatics History: Jesuit missionaries first planted grape seeds from Peru in the 1550’s, failed with an earlier attempt near Buenos Aires – first vineyards in Argentina. Today many vineyards over 100 years old, mostly in Calchaquí Valleys in the Andes Mountains Location Salta's home of the wine trade is Cafayate The region crosses a bunch of valleys called the Calchaquí Valleys (they span other provinces --  Jujuy, Tucumán, Catamarca) Salta is tiny compared to other Argentina wine regions: The region makes 1% of Argentina’s wines from its 5,200 acres (2,000 ha.) of vineyards Climate: Harsh daytime heat warm days, cool nights with 45˚ F/7.2˚C temperature swings during the long growing season in the Calchaquí Valleys More than 300 days of sunlight a year, wind and ultraviolet radiation – causes mutation inducing properties that magnify color and flavor Sub areas of Salta Cafayate:4 hours south of Salta with alluvial, porous, deep, sandy soils and clay base is similar to the profile of Mendoza.  Molinos department: More than 100 miles from both Salta and Cafayate 8,000ft/ 2440 M to over 10K feet/3000M Wine: Both whites and reds are fruity with pure flavors, and alcohol is high with excellent acidity and balance REDS: Malbec, Tannat, Merlot, Syrah, Cab, Cabernet Franc – all marked by extreme sun – color, flavor Tannat is one to watch -- hard to sell internationally but it is a local specialty Colomé produces a 100% Tannat under its Lote Especial label from its Finca La Brava vineyards, 1,700m above sea level in Colomé, Salta. WHITES: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc,Torrontés Torrontés has powerful acidity, floral aromatics – a big, strong white   Wineries Mentioned: Bodega El Esteco:Altimvs and Chañar Punco are top wines from the Bodega   San Pedro de Yacochuya: Founded in 1988 by Arnaldo Etchart and Michel Rolland. Made an international reputation for the area   Porvenir de Cafayate:Oenologist Mariano Quiroga, with the American consultant Paul Hobbs (we had the Amauta Malbec while we were recording the show!)   José Luis Mounier, Finca Las Nubes: a high-altitude terroir expert, Torrontés, Cabernet Sauvignon   Colomé and Tacuil wineries in Los Molinos: Both growing vines at 2,500 meters/8,200 above sea level. Colomé’s Altura Maxima is at 10,000 feet/3,111 meters   ______________________________________  Thanks to our sponsors this week: Thanks to YOU! The podcast supporters on Patreon, who are helping us to make the podcast possible and who we give goodies in return for their help!

Mendoza is Argentina’s most important and prolific wine region, representing two-thirds of the nation’s wine production. We talk about the effect of altitude and other geographical features that make this area so unique. Then we break down sub regions and discuss the incredible diversity that guarantees there is a wine style for every palate out of this beautiful, mountainous wine region.   Here are the show notes: First we tackle the stats and some history on the region: High altitude vineyards in the Andes Mountains that range from 430-1610 M/ 1,411 – 5,282 feet Latitude: 32˚ - 34˚ south 151K hectares/373K acres 5 large sub-regions: Valle de Uco, Primera Zona, North, East and South Mendoza Zones Mendoza wine blossomed with the railroad coming through in 1885 and industrial wine production reigned for many decades. International markets weren’t a priority until the financial crisis of the late 1990s.   Next, we discuss the unique geography and terrain of the region: We delve into the intense climate, the desert-like conditions, and how irrigation happens thanks to the inventions of the Huarapes and Incas We discuss the altitude for a long time (sorry if it’s too dorky!) – and why it is the most important thing Mendoza has going for it. Most vineyards are 3,000 -5,000 feet above sea level – big diurnals mean grapes can maintain acidity despite intense sunlight Soils: Alluvial with loose sand over clay – areas differ based on what runs down the mountain… Sandy areas – lighter, more aromatic elegance (red fruit) Clay-based soils with lime: Dark, powerful Malbec   We chat about grapes and wine colors of Mendoza Red: 61.2% with the main grapes: Malbec – 40% Bonarda – 17% Cabernet Sauvignon – 12% Syrah – 9% Tempranillo – 6% White: 15.8%: Chardonnay – 21% Torrontés Riojano – 15% Chenin Blanc – 7% Sauvignon Blac 6.5% Rose: 23%     Then we riff on sub regions for the rest of the show!  I. South Mendoza: San Rafael: Malbec, Bordeaux blends – Cab, Syrah, Bonnarda, Chard, Semillon, Torrontés II. East Mendoza San Martin: Lots of coops, lots of Criolla Grande, Cereza, now moving to better wines Lower altitude, a bit warmer, flabbier   III. North Mendoza: also warmer, can be very soft/low tannin and low acid wines   IV. Primera Zona: Maipu and Lujan de Cuyo – 40% of Argentina’s wineries, 881 inn total Maipu –12 districts, 6% of Argentine wine Familia Zuccardi, Rutini and Trapiche have vineyards here Maipu is not quite as highly regarded as Lujan de Cuyo or Uco Valley  Important Subareas: Lulunta: East of Mendoza city, altitude is around 900-930m/ 3000 ft Rich style of Malbec Barrancas: 115 miles/185 km south of Mendoza city.Centered around the small township of the same name. Old region – started in 1880s Slightly warmer climate here and lower lower altitude – 2500 ft/750 m- softer and riper than those from other parts of Mendoza Cab, Syrah, Malbec    Luján de Cuyo –14 districts, 8% of Argentine wine production Just south of the city of Mendoza and on higher ground to the west of Maipú Vistalba and Compuertas north of the river and Perdriel and Agrelo south of it Grapes: Malbec with Cab, Chard, Torrontes Hot, dry, desert-like but moderated by high altitude – average is 3300 ft/1000 m Alluvial soils are the big thing here – rocky, sandy, poor soils, mountain soils – lots of stress on the vine Catena Zapata, Bodega Septima, Cheval des Andes   Important Subareas: Agrelo  Complex Malbec – long-lasting, powerful wines Also Cab, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc In Center of Lujan de Cuyo: Bodega Septima, Pulenta Estate, Catena Zapata, Susana Bilbao   Las Compuertas At opening of the Mendoza River as it emerges from the mountains -- Las Compuertasmeans "the floodgates" Malbec vines are some of the oldest in Mendoza, up to 100 years old. Other grapes: Cab Franc, Petit Verdot, Chardonnay Famous winery: Cheval des Andes   Perdriel  Small sub-region (20 kilometers/ 13 miles) south of Mendoza Some of the oldest vineyardsof Malbec and Cab Wines are subtler and more refined, floral notes   Vistalba (means "view of the dawn" in Spanish) Southwest of Mendoza Malbec, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir Cabernet, Sauv Blanc, Bonarda Slightly higher than the surrounding regions -- better air circulation Wines are often elegant in style Trapiche. Bodega Vistalba     V. Uco Valley (Valle de Uco)-- 14% of all Argentinean wine Hour's drive south from the city of Mendoza, famed wineries Since 2006, cultivated area grown by 65%, double the size of Luján de Cuyo Grapes: 50% Malbec, Cab Franc has potential, Chard, Torrontés Each zone offers a different profile of Malbec and other wines. European investment here – from Bordeaux in particular:Lurton, Rothschild and Rolland Soils: alluvial and fairly uniform: a clay and rock base with a stony, sandy surface Cooler climate, slower ripening, Slightly higher above sea level Maipu and Lujan de Cuyo   Important Sub areas: Tupungato  Vineyards planted nearly 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) above sea level – way cooler here than farther north Northern end of the Valle de Uco southwest of Mendoza. Best -- Gualtallary, a precious corner Violet scented Malbec: earthy, herbal and balsamic Cabernet Franc: elegant Pinot Noir Tunuyán  All about sub-appellations: Chacayes: High vineyards, full but minerally wines Los Árboles: Coolest area, borders Tupungato – Chardonnay is best here Vista Flores: Prized property – (Clos de los Siete – Michel Rolland’s property is here) San Carlos Tunuyán river helps influence vineyards -- sandy alluvial soils with rocks and calcareous stones are irregular and that gives a lot of diversity in style Two important subregions: Paraje Altamira: Fruity, earthy reds with minerality, dusty note. Excellent Semillons (Check out Finca Suárez or Mendel) La Consulta: Many old vines with intense and concentrated reds   Please shop around, try all the different styles and let us know what you like!

Até o próximo dia 11, a capital argentina do vinho está em plena Festa Nacional da Vindima, a temporada de colheita da uva. E a cada ano, o que mais surpreende não é o volume nem a qualidade da colheita, mas a quantidade de brasileiros que viajam para uma experiência enogastronômica. Márcio Resende, de Mendoza A educadora paulista Elizane Mecena (47) tem a felicidade estampada no rosto. Vai finalmente desvendar a história por trás de cada Malbec argentino que regularmente desfruta em São Paulo. Elizane fez o caminho contrário de cada garrafa exportada ao Brasil. A cada ano, mais e mais brasileiros aprimoram o seu conhecimento sobre vinho. À medida que se aprofundam nesse gosto, partem para esse novo mundo, literalmente. Na capital argentina do vinho, o crescimento de turistas brasileiros chegou a 75% nos últimos dois anos. É o lugar onde o turismo brasileiro mais cresceu na Argentina. Enquanto o turismo de brasileiros aumentou, em média, 15% em todo o país entre 2016 e 2017, em Mendoza, esse crescimento mais do que duplicou essa média, chegando a 34,3%. Os números de 2018 ainda não foram divulgados, mas a estimativa é de que o ano tenha fechado entre 92 mil turistas brasileiros (novo aumento de 25%) e 100 mil (aumento de 34%).  Ao lado de Elizane, o seu noivo, o também educador paulista Flávio Carli (47), vê no vinho argentino um motivo mais sedutor para a viagem em plena Festa Nacional da Vindima. Esse clima de romantismo em torno de uma taça de vinho no seu local de origem ficou ainda mais possível a partir da forte desvalorização do peso argentino no último ano e a partir da conectividade aérea que se multiplicou desde 2015. As rotas diretas ligam São Paulo com Mendoza e até Florianópolis com Mendoza. Durante o inverno, o Rio de Janeiro também terá voos diretos. Também aumentou a quantidade de conexões em Buenos Aires. Cultura de viver a vida O governador de Mendoza, Alfredo Cornejo, explicou à RFI que o brasileiro procura a região sempre pelo vinho e, no inverno, também pela neve. Os números do EMETUR, o órgão de Turismo de Mendoza, confirmam que os brasileiros estão descobrindo Mendoza e que vêm para relaxar com o turismo enogastronômico: 93% dos turistas brasileiros chegam a Mendoza pela primeira vez e 91% vem por prazer. Ao pé da Cordilheira dos Andes, Mendoza produz 70% dos vinhos argentinos e 90% dos espumantes. Das 930 vinícolas argentinas, 865 estão em Mendoza. Os carros-chefe do país são o Malbec, em uva tinta, e o Torrontés, em uva branca. Ambas as uvas, de origem francesa e espanhola, respectivamente, encontraram no solo mendocino o seu melhor terroir no mundo.

Un día más, un Picnic más. Bienvenidos a una nueva edición del mejor podcast de comida de Argentina. Hoy capítulo invernal, grabado en casi primavera, sobre guisos, comidas calientes, felicidad que te hace pasar el invierno más rápido. Primero asentamos las bases del episodio contando que es un guiso y como se prepara. También hablamos de nuestros guisos favoritos. Después Andy no contó cuantos dólares hacen falta para hacer un alto guisoooooo. Resulta que entre varios es una comida muy barata. Carina Perticone (@caripert en twitter, https://twitter.com/caripert) que es Mgr. Crítica de arte - Doctoranda en Historia y Teoría del arte - Postgraduate in Anthropology of food / History, semiotics and aesthetics of food consumption. Nos contó sobre el Locro, su historia, de donde viene y hacia donde va. Además nos habló de otras joyitas de la historia culinaria Argentina. Después hablamos en Feria Masticar con Tomás Kalika chef y dueño de Mishiguene (@kalikatomas en Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kalikatomas) que nos contó sobre el Chunt o Cholent, también un poco de su historia y como este plato de comida judía se fue moviendo por todo el mundo gracias a los movimientos migratorios. También nos habló de @somostujes su nueva iniciativa de Hummus hasta el tujes y obvio que hablamos de la etimología de esta palabra Idish. En el segmento vino hablamos de un vino con un nombre nacional y popular THE APPLE DOESN’T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE (http://matiasriccitelli.com/esp/wines-the-apple.html) en este casi la variedad Torrontés de 2014. Andy nos contó lo que opina de su etiqueta, luego debatimos sobre como nos gustaría tomarlo al lado de una pileta en verano (todo esto en el capítulo de invierno).

Second episode on Argentina, focusing on its wine regions. Altitude is key, to prolong the growing season in the dry, hot conditions. Now, Argentian producers are looking to diversify to show that the country is more than just fruit-forward Malbec - from Torrontés in high-altitude Salta to Pinot Noir in Antarctic influenced Patagonia.

Suggested pairing: a Torrontés from Argentina  We are back! Thank you so much for everyone's patenice. After traveling around and scheduling conflicts for most of March and April.

This week Roque and Luke head back to La Mancha to the little known and very hard to find region of DO Mondéjar. Odd given it’s right next door to the capital! They sample a bemusing bottle of Arís, a white wine from Bodega Mariscal and made from the Torrontés grape. They also discuss a new wine controversy: handpicked grapes versus machine harvested. Salud!

Our 2017 version of the U.S Thanksgiving podcast was actually done via Facebook live, but we recorded it & edited it down for replay. We tried to limit the options to give you a few wine options, rather than a million! Enjoy! We are thankful for you!   Some of the wines we recommend:  Whites: Off-dry Riesling, off-dry Vouvray/Chenin Blanc, Alsace Riesling, Viognier, Rhône, Torrontés Reds: Cru Beaujolais, Beaujolais-Villages, fruity Zinfandel, Merlot, Right Bank (Merlot-based) Bordeaux, New Zealand Pinot Noir   Also mentioned: Online Wine Classes with Elizabeth are at live at www.winefornormalpeople.com/classes We are so grateful for you! Have a happy, safe Thanksgiving!

Vi fortsætter vores rejse mod DM i blindsmagning 2018. I dette afsnit stiller vi skarpt på Argentina, et relativt ukendt vinområde for os – og det skal der laves om på! Derfor er vi taget til Malbeck+ i Westmarket på Vesterbro, der har et stort fokus på argentinsk vin. Malbeck er foruden navnet på en række vinbutikker og vinbarer i København også navnet på Argentinas måske mest kendte druesort. Derfor har vi sat Natalie, der bestyrer Malbeck+ i Westmarket, i stævne for at gøre os klogere på hvad Argentina har at byde på. Gæst: Natalie Noryd Vine: 2014 Passionate Wines Via Revolucionaria, Torrontés Brutal, Mendoza 2013 Ambrosía, Viña Unica Malbec, Gualtallary, Mendoza, Uco Valley ---------------- Facebook: @blindsmagerne Instagram: @blindsmagerne Kontakt os på: Blindsmagerne@gmail.com

Nesse episódio, além de comentar os vinhos, eu conto sobre a uva torrontés, emblemática da Argentina: porque ela é conhecida como "uva mentirosa" e o que a torna tao especial.  Ficou show! No final ainda dou uma super dica para encontrar e comprar vinhos. Tintim! The post SV#06: Confraria – Torrontés appeared first on Simples Vinho.

White wines often get dismissed as being less complex than reds but that's hardly the case. In this episode we review aromatic v non aromatic whites and how to navigate whites to find styles & grapes that will give you a new appreciation for these wines. Specifically we talk about: Aromatic wines -- what aromas they exhibit, regions you'll most likely find them and how they are made.  We talk about the merits of aromatic v non aromatic wines We discuss aromatic grapes: Albariño, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Muscat, Torrontés, Viognier, Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Fiano and more A good primer on whites and their breadth and depth! 

This week the ladies are sitting side-by-side with two fabulous bottles of wine from Kaiken and Aurelio Montes Jr. We are giving you where, the wine, the winemaker … and the geese. Geese? Yes, Geese. We’re two birds of a feather and flocking together, tasting and talking about Argentina’s signature varietal wines, Malbec and Torrontés. We hope you enjoy this introduction to one of our favorite producers and find some great wines to add to your cellar and summer entertaining arsenal! [ad] [sponsored content]

Torrontés is the best known white wine variety in Argentina, but as far as planted acreage goes it places second to Pedro Gimenez.  This fact hints at Argentina's winemaking and wine consumption patterns of the past.  Think quantity over quality.  With more than 400 years of winemaking tradition and culture Argentina has become a recent player in the field of wine exports.  As recently as the early 1990's the main concern for grape growers in Argentina was maximum yields.  After World War II and up until the nineties a tumultuous political and economic environment made investing in the vineyards and wineries of Argentina a very risky proposition.  In the nineties Argentina experienced an unprecedented influx of capital.  Fueled by land cost one tenth of the cost of property in France or Napa, between 1991 and 2000 an estimated $ 1.5 billion was invested into the wine industry of Argentina.  Money moguls and political influences made investments palatable, but what sealed the deal for many was Argentina's treasured natural climate; high-altitude valleys, low fertility soils, lack of rain, a wide range of temperatures and intense sun.The leading exported wine of Argentina is Malbec.   Seventeen times more Malbec is exported than Torrontés.  Translation, you'll have to look a little harder to findTorrontés.  Most retailers will have a few examples but you're not going to discover and aisle full of Torrontés on your next wine buying trip.  Although its cultivated in other countries of South America we were unable to find any examples from Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay of Bolivia Argentine Provices Growing Torrontés(Photo Copyright © en:User:Ahoerstemeier 2004) We found Torrontés to be unlike any wine we've tasted before.  Torrontés is considered indigenous to Argentina and is thought to be a cross between the Mission grape (Criolla Chica) and Muscat of Alexandria. Torrontés is cultivated in most of the valleys of Argentina but the most aromatic and flavorful examples hail from Salta the most northerly region.  Since most Torrontés is made sans oak you can expect purity of flavors.  The aromatic profile can be aggressive.  The aroma strikes as a cross between Viognier and Riesling.  We picked up aromas of citrus, flowers, honey, apricot, peach, musk melon, lime and lemon peel.  Torrontés is a light to medium bodied wine and when you take in the aromas you reflexively prepare yourself for a slightly sweet, fuller bodied white wine.  The trap has been set.  Upon tasting and swallowing a good example of Torrontés you are immediately hit with a strong lemony acidity and a slight saline quality.  The contrast between the florality and the crisp acidity is striking and to some may be an acquired taste.  Torrontés serves well as an aperitif wine and we found it to pair well with Asian, Indian and Mexican cuisine and a variety of cheeses.While shopping for the wines for this pod cast we noticed a fair number of older vintages on retailer shelves ( 06, 07, 08, 09 ).  Having tried several long in the tooth examples we think its fair to say that you should select the newest vintages you can find.  As Torrontés ages it loses the delightful aromatics and the zippy acidity that makes it so appealing.On this pod cast we profiled six wines.  Go find a few bottles of Torrontés, chill em down and join us as we explore Argentina's treasure Torrontés.

This week we hit the virtual road again with a trip to Argentina. A bunch of awesome shout outs (you guys are the best!) and a quick story of my childhood trauma of always being the male characters while belting out the libretto of Evita (so my sister could be La Reina!) and we’re off to the Southern Hemisphere! Source: Palm Bay International Here are the notes: We start with a review of the history of Argentinean wine and how it got to be the 5th largest wine producer in the world. Then we talk about the unique climate of the main growing regions, and I dork out on a few wine terms We take a jaunt around the wine regions of Argentina, focusing on Mendoza (because it’s 70% of production! We talk about the sub-areas of Lujan de Cuyo, Maipu and the Uco Valley) and the region of Salta (home of the highest vineyards in the world and some of the best Torrontés). Then we give an overview of La Rioja (different from the historic region in Spain),  San Juan, [...]
