On what very well could have been the hottest day of the year, with the humidex hitting a close-to record of 47C, the Argentineans staged a tasting of their big, bold wines from their piece of the world. While they might be used to these high temps, we cool climate Canadians were a little taken aback (and sweaty) … I joked with the folks at Q-Water (the official water supplier of the event) that they just might be the most popular booth in the building – and by the time I was ready to leave, they were my favourite … I had more to drink there then at the 20+ producer booths that were in attendance.
Over 50 wines from 20+ producers were poured, sipped and for the most part, savoured (before spitting) and below my list of some of the highlights … most of these wines are either already in, or are coming soon, to the Ontario market: (see my wines of choice here)
