"The Rest" of Argentina

Yes, it is true they are making wine outside of Mendoza in Argentina, and once you get outside the main areas, they are making way more than just Malbec! 

In this episode we talk about Salta and history and origins of Torrontes, Argentina's true native grape (it's not actually Malbec) 

Then we go south and dive into the wines of Patagonia, the country's most up and coming wine region that has been attracting some of the biggest names in the world of wine.  

I used some great resources for this episode:
