Argentina is famous for many things: the gauchos, the beef, the tango. But lately it has become famous for its high quality wines, primarily produced in the Mendoza region at the base of the Andes Mountains. More specifically, wine lovers have discovered that a little known grape called Malbec grows beautifullly in the Argentine soil and climate, and therefore the production and quality of its wines has increased accordingly. To learn more about the Argentine Malbec, read Argentina and the Malbec Grape.
