Argentina Wines Are Closing In On #1

Argentina is the fifth largest producer of wines in the world, but apparently this South American country is gearing up for a first place finish! With more than 1,000 new wine companies opened for business in 2005, exports and profits rose more than one third from the previous year. This is wonderful news for Argentina's economy, as well as for those wine enthusiasts in other areas of the world that haven't had the pleasure of toasting a glass made from Argentine criollas, or native vines. Although the majority of Argentinian wine is exported to North America and the United Kingdom, new markets are on the rise in Finland, Norway, India, Malaysia and Vietnam.

No wonder! With the perfect climate and soil conditions for growing grapes, Argentina creates wines of superior quality. The Malbec grape produces a large portion of Argentina's red wines with its characteristics of berries, plums, figs, and vanilla. European varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon with overtones of pepper, chocolate and coffee, and the velvety plum and berry-like Merlots and Syrahs are harvested in the shadow of the majestic Andes Mountains and then produced into "bottled poetry", as so aptly stated by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Exceptional quality and flavor at reasonable prices -- what more does one need? Oh, yes -- a corkscrew, a glass and a toast! Now where did you say Napa Valley was??!!

Aged White Wine Vinegar with Tarragon by Martin Pouret

Aged White Wine Vinegar with Tarragon by Martin Pouret is produced and bottled in Orleans, France in the traditional "slow process" since 1797. This method has been handed down from father to son for generations. The Martin Pouret firm buys its wines directly from the greatest vineyards as it takes a great wine to produce a great vinegar. Then begins the slow transformation of the wine into vinegar according to the unchanging rules that only Jean-Fracois Martin still applies. It is this which make the Martin Pouret vinegars so special.

The wines will slowly metamorphose for three weeks in 220 litre barrels called "vaisseaux" at the constant temperature of 28 degrees, sheltered from the light. The vinegar thus obtained will be left to mature for six months in oak tuns in order to refine its aroma and bouquet. Before bottling, the herbs, in this case fresh tarragon, are added for additional nuance of flavor.

Each bottle contains approximately 17.6 fluid ounces (500ml) of Martin Pouret Aged White Wine Vinegar With Tarragon iimported from France. Contains sulfites. 7% acidic.

As a wine producer committed to making wines of the highest quality, the idea of low-to-non interventionist farming really appeals. Taking chemicals and un-natural inputs out of the wine making equation makes perfect sense, especially if you are keen for your wines to express their 'sense of place'.
