We recently tasted two Argentinian wines that are new to the U.S. market. Decopas Sauvignon Blanc and Malbec are perfect for dinner, for a party or a picnic. We received these wines as samples and were impressed with their freshness, pleasant flavors and affordability.
In case you didn’t know, April 17 is Malbec World Day. So designated by Wines of Argentina since 2011. Wines of Argentina is an organization that promotes Argentinian wine worldwide and assists Argentinian wine producers it developing their export strategy.
After lunch we had the Saturday keynote address and discussion with author Rex Picket of Sideways and more, moderated by Alana Gentry (Girl With a Glass).
I had hoped to update this every day but it just wasn’t possible. We were busy all day long and then there were the after parties … So much wine, so little time!
Well we are headed off to the Wine Bloggers Conference 2012 (WBC12) this week in Portland, Oregon.
Malbec from Argentina and a Bordeaux from St. Emilion in France taste off.
Just by coincidence after we wrote our post on rosé wines our local wine shop, Fine Wines of Stockton, had a rosé tasting for the Thursday night tasting.
We had an event filled wine weekend. Friday night we were invited to a wine tasting and appetizer event
