On what very well could have been the hottest day of the year, with the humidex hitting a close-to record of 47C, the Argentineans staged a tasting of their big, bold wines from their piece of the world. While they might be used to these high temps, we cool climate Canadians were a little taken aback (and sweaty) ... I joked with the folks at Q-Water (the official water supplier of the event) that they just might be the most popular booth in the building - and by the time I was ready to leave, they were my favourite ... I had more to drink there then at the 20+ producer booths that were in attendance.
Over 50 wines from 20+ producers were poured, sipped and for the most part, savoured (before spitting) and below my list of some of the highlights ... most of these wines are either already in, or are coming soon, to the Ontario market: (see my wines of choice here)
