Just tried my first Torrontes and was so impressed I was gonna look it up in my wine bible. But, it isn’t in there so I searched the web and came across this.. This is a great show.

Ultra liberal, sanctuary city, Arlington, VA. (damnit) Love the Torrontes, which, in our house, has replaced the Chard & Chenin Blanc. As the dollar continues to sink in value, we have found the best bang for the buck in Argentine wines, which we very…..very, very much enjoy.

Just catching up.

Louisville, KY.

Well, actually, the Sunny side of Louisville, which is one of the stupidest tag lines for a city ever, but what the heck, I didn’t write it.

Bow, New Hampshire. I also spend a lot of time in Boston, MA where I go to school, and would love to taste with other Vayniaks in either of those places!

Also, I know you are reading this Gary so I have to tell you something really important to me (besides how frickin’ awesome you are… seriously): global warming affects long-term changes in the climate, and these are measured in terms of years and decades. So when the average December days is warmer in the 2000s than it was in the 1920s, that’s evidence for global warming. What you feel when you go outside is the weather, which is measured in days and months and seasons. So even if it’s a warm winter, a cold Thursday, or even an unusually warm year, that really has nothing to do with global warming!
