I’m doing research on South African wines. Did you guys do a show on them? Anyone else have credible information on the history of winemaking in this region?

I think these wines do not get the attention they deserve. I also feel it’s important to get this information direct from the people in the region. It really allows us to get deeper into the subject. Man, this is so much fun.

I listened to it on the way to a trade tasting here in London arranged by Wines of Argentina. I know you had some good material to work with (I thought both the experts were on great form) but you asked some excellent questions and the stuff on terroir was right up my street as I am currently studying for my WSET Diploma.

Great work – Chile next??

THANKS, I HAVE LISTENED TO BOTH SEVERAL TIMES..

1. Crios, Susana Balbo, Rosé of Malbec, 2006 $15.99

2. Doña Paula, Malbec, 2005 $12.99

3. Lancatay, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2004 16.99

4. Andeluna, Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, 2003 21.99

5. Amancaya, Malbec/Cabernet blend, 2005 18.99

6. Dolium, Reserve Malbec, 2003 24.99

7. Tikal, Patriota, Malbec, 2005 30.99

One of the most successful foods I have ever served with wines that like beef is a carpaccio. It’s difficult to put it out fast enough. I might try a tartare this time along with some cheeses.
What I’m wondering is if anyone has suggestions for other foods. I haven’t even thought about vegetables/crackers/other stuff yet because I need to finish my kitchen remodelling so folks can actually get into the house and walk around.

I’m so glad you cover such a wide range of regions around the world. Satisfies my need for armchair travel. If you run out of ideas, consider an episode comparing Chilean and Argentine wines. I used to lump them together (hit L.A. and turn left), but the more I try the more I’m noticing the respective regional characters. I also appreciate that you don’t shy away from the technical details of viticulture in your shows; I’m always learning things that I can put to use. Cheers! DB

I chose Argentine wines and my first one is from Susana Balbo (a Rosé) upon recommendation of the retailer.
I belong to the San Antonio Cellar Society and we have been active for about thirty years. We have a member sponsor a tasting each month and the member chooses the theme and provides the food and the wines. The member is reimbursed for the wines and gets a stipend for the food.
