The biddies continue the passport tour with an introduction to Argentina. While they’ve touched briefly on Argentine Malbec in past episodes, in today’s episode they get into Bonarda (red varietal) and Argentina’s native Torrontés(white varietal). As per usual they attempt to keep it together while sipping on their respective wines and covering Argentina’s regions and appellation system more broadly.
