Yesterday, City Winery hosted a blow-out of Argentinean wines and its first grape crush. We made our way through the crowds and tasted a bunch of wines, some great, some not so good. A lot of the wines are inexpensive and can be found here - Acker Merrral & Condit was the retailer of choice.
The main grapes being tasted included whites Torrontes and Chardonnay and reds Malbec, Cab Sauvignon and Merlot. So what did we like? Click through to see our list of favorites.
