Amazing Argentines
6:00pm to 8:00pm
Two of the most aromatic wines you'll taste all week. The Torrontés balances its rich, strong fruit with surprising complexity, and the Malbec has a nose that will have you sniffing your glass even once it's empty (and with this wine, glasses tend to get emptied sooner than you hope).

A Duo from Down Under
6:00pm to 8:00pm
Even for the Australian Outback, these wines are way off the grid! Savagnin is a grape you'll almost never find in Australia, yet Gemtree has gone and made it into a fresh and delicious white wine. The Shiraz is unfined, unfiltered, and wild: lots of dark fruits and underbrush here. Stop by this Friday and taste them both for free.
