Staff Pick Notes

Finca Suarez's history goes back 100 years and spans five generations in the same family, all beginning in 1921 when Leopoldo Suarez first chose the land for his vineyards in Altamira that would still be thriving a century later. Winemakers around the world revere Leopoldo for his scientific contributions and his early adoption of practices that are now considered the standard (such as regenerative farming and consideration of soil). Leopoldo, who studied oenology in Italy and France, was a big believer that Semillon is the Mendoza's best white table wine. After tasting this white blend of 80% Chard and 20% Semillón, I have to say I agree with him! I loved the balance between minerality from the stoney soil, as well as the elegant stone fruit and floral notes - perfect for a summer table wine just as Leopoldo intended!

More About This Wine

Argentina

Ever tried a sparkling Malbec? A Patagonian Pinot Noir? Argentine winemakers have long been in a position to experiment, most often with very tasty results.

One of the great undiscovered gems is Torrontés, a fresh, aromatic white variety that is best enjoyed young. The red Bonarda grape is another approachable yet little-known variety that thrives here. If you prefer your red wines spicy,...

Chardonnay

From Champagne to Chablis, it's hard (not to mention unpleasant) to avoid this famous white variety. During a huge popularity surge beginning in the late 1980s, Chardonnay plantings have increased dramatically -- not only in California's wine country, with which the variety is nearly synonymous, but also in Burgundy (its original, Old World home) and just about everywhere else in the winemaking world. It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...

Blanco

White tequila, an official type (tipo) for tequila bottled fresh from the still, or allowed to rest in stainless steel tanks for up to sixty days before bottling. It is never aged in wooden barrels. Also known as plata, plato, and silver tequila. Usually the most robust, strong-flavoured of the tequila types.
