One of the great discoveries of 2007 for me and many Vayniacs was the Torrentes grape from Argentina.

    For those that like or are willing to try torrontes:

    San Pedro de Yacochuya, it would be a perfect varietal only if they were able to tone down the alcohol.
    Colomé (the malbec appered at WLTV). Still a little bit cumbersome due to early vintages. Terrific potential.
    Alta Vista, CKC’s heaven… extremely well balance between quality and price. Unpretentious, quaffable shows great varietal character and damm cheap.

    The best torrontes from Argentina comes from the Salta region (not Mendoza), the Northern part of the country.
