"The Rest" of Argentina

Description
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:  The Oxford Companion to Wine by Jancis Robinson  https://www.cafayate.com/tasting.php?nid=1 https://unravelingwine.com/patagonia-wine/ I also talk about some producers:  Susana Balbo Wines:  https://en.susanabalbowines.com.ar/ Bodegas Chacra:  https://www.bodegachacra.com/ If you spot something that needs correcting or you would like to request an episode you can reach out at [email protected] or check out the House Wine Instagram @housewinepodcast  This podcast is 100% independent, it is written, narrated and produced by myself, Rachael so if you heard something you liked then scroll down and leave a comment or review, that is the best way that you can support the show.  Until next week, I hope you drink something delicious!  Music Credit: Too Cool by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4534-too-cool License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
