MC-O made some Argentinean wine the other day.



I guess Dogo didn't like being the 'catcher'.

@ Gastone, I know, I know ! I did not say I don't like them but so far i had better "experiences" with Arg. wines.

OK, I think I'll have to get a bottle of good wine in my next visit to Chile! Then we will see...

The only problem is that here, unless you're going to the Vintage section, and even there, there is not a good selection of wine, que sea de Chile o de Argentina.

I tried both and I so far prefer the Argentinian one don't start with the :tomatoe:, but don't ask me the name, I can't remember, it was choosen by my Arg. friend back in Mx, from the restaurant "cave" Thank you Juanqui !

Why not? Mendoza city is very close to Chilean Central Valley, I mean they have the same raw material..

New World wine

New World wines are those wines produced outside the traditional wine-growing areas of Europe and North Africa. It refers particularly to wines from America, South Africa, and Australasia.

New World wines are described by grape variety rather than vineyard, stereotypically riper, darker in color, fuller-bodied, smoother, fruitier and more alcoholic than traditional European products, which are more concerned with terroir and tradition. The term "New World wine" has come to describe a wine with some or all of these characteristics produced in any wine region.

The historic Paris Wine Tasting of 1976 revolutionized the world of wine. The Paris event, a blind tasting by leading French experts, demonstrated that New World wines could beat some of the best that France produces. This led to a rapid expansion of efforts to produce world class wines in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and North and South America.

Subsequent blind tastings have confirmed that Canada, Chile, and other New world countries are able to produce some of the very best wines in the world.



so i guess just like anything else is all about the name and where is made.
