Been out of touch... Lots of travel... Lots of work.
Noticed that Larmandier-Bernier, a great terroir focused Champagne, has switched US importers/distributors from Terry Theise to Dressner. Don´t have any insight on that part of the business, but a great excuse to check out another example of great location based wines.
Seems like Dr. Vino and Vineography visited Argentina in the last week and enjoyed themselves a great deal. As we found, this country and its wines really are exciting.
Dr. Vino:
Mendoza's terroir
Alta Vista Torrontes
Argentine wine photos
Parilla
Mendoza, high desert
Vineography:
Reviews of Argintinean wine, Part I
Bodegas (multiple)
What's Wrong with America
Reviews of Argintinean wine, Part II
He also provides a breath taking view of his meal at Cabana Las Lilas. Please note we found many other restaurants in Buenos Aires that were superior to this one. However, as far as tourist traps go, this is not a bad restaurant.
At some point there became a pretty clear line between wine journalists who flew and traveled on the dime of the region they were covering and those who paid their own way (Wine Spectator, NYT, etc.) to maintain objectivity. I don't think bloggers are at this point yet, but very interesting that Dr. Vino was traveling with Wines of Argentina.
