I read about you in today’s San Diego Tribune. I decided to Google Argentina white wines to find Torrontas and there was your video. What a coincidence. Enjoyed it!

qotd Jefferson, and he loved wine.

Love that you did a torrontes episode. Great that your doing shows where your helping to expose some of the lesser known quality wines out there. Makes me wonder when we’ll get to see a vin jaune episode

Just as Caesar August was viewed as the second founder of Rome after Romulus, Ronald Reagan seems to me to be the second founder of the American Republic after George Washington. He was sincerely committed to restoring the founding principles of our nation, and he communicated those ideals with eloquence and cogency.

Haven’t really liked a president in my lifetime. Would have to say Jefferson or Lincoln based on study.

Is not GWB an answer?

I’ve had a couple of bottles of Amaicha Torrontes and it does pair well with asian and indian food. My wife who is not a huge white wine person likes it as well.
QOTD FDR

Torrontes does sound interesting for Asian food.

QOD: Washington (I just read 1776, and the man was far more awesome than I thought.)
Others in top 5: Lincoln, F.D. Roosevelt, T. Roosevelt, Jefferson.

Honestly, whatever your politics, how can you list Reagan or Clinton? Both said whatever they thought the public wanted to hear to get elected. Neither held the country together in a life-threatening crisis like Lincoln or FDR, and neither took truly courageous or novel positions like Teddy Roosevelt or Jefferson. I’ll partially answer my own question by noting that the question really was “favorite” rather than “best.”

OK, I have to admit that I not only haven’t HAD any Torrontes, I hadn’t even heard of it. I’ll have to add that to my list of “Things to try”.

QOD: Historically speaking, Abraham Lincoln. In my lifetime, Ronald Reagan. I think that the historical impact that each has had are enormous.
