Mendoza

I'm back! 

I took a spontaneous and unannounced break for the month of July but now I am back and we are going to be covering a bunch of great topics in the next couple months from Mendoza to Madeira. 

Today we are getting right into it with the history if winemaking in Argentina and then we take a deep dive into the most important winemaking region of Argentina and that is Mendoza. 

So if you have ever picked up a bottle of $15 wine and looked found that you were drinking a wine from Argentina - this is an episode about how that wine got into your hands. 

I used some great resources this week: 

The Oxford Companion to Wine by Jancis Robinson 

1001 Wines to Try Before You Die by Neil Beckett 

And some Decanter Articles as well:
