Blancos (Torrontes/Chardonnay) - Fuerza 2007

Fuerza Blancos 2007

REGION: Argentina (Mendoza)
**Predicted to be the next superstar in winemaking, Argentina produces fantastic bargains but also plenty of garbage due to the lack of regulation. Local grapes Torrontes (White) and Malbec (Red) are particularly worth buying**

GRAPE: Torrontes/Chardonnay Blend
**A blend of aromatic, light and crisp Torrontes with the ubiquitous Chardonnay**

ONLINE REVIEW: TBD

PRICE: $3.99

MODERATORS' COMMENTS:
1. John says: Super light with the typical aromatic/floral Torrontes scents. Food overpowers this wine, but on its own is very nice.
2. Jennifer says: "What is this? I like it!"
