The Argentina Experiment
Posted: Tue Nov 18, 2014 3:31 am
I know nothing about Argentine wines.
So I went on the PJ's website. I picked 12 wines from several recent vintages.
I know nothing about any of these wines or any of these vintages.
They are all priced between $10 and $26.
I picked 12 wines that were rated at least 90 points by either WA, WE, WS, IWC, or JS.
I will uncork two per Thursday night steak dinner, and will record my observations (not necessarily over the next 6 consecutive Thursdays, but likely all 6 sessions will occur before the end of the year).
I recognize I am not drinking $100 wines here, I just want to see if there is anything to get excited about.
So these are the wines and their prices:
