WineNotes April 2012

April is "Argentine Malbec" Month

Last month we featured Washington Malbec. In April we're coming back with a line-up of some wonderful Malbecs from Argentina. Over the last five years, Argentina Malbecs have been hitting the U.S. market and have helped put this grape back on the map. We've chosen three different regions to show what Argentina is producing. Swing to by to enjoy a flight, glass or bottle.

Cheers!

Tagaris Winery was founded by the Tagaris family in the Tri-cities area in 1987. We're very excited to have winemaker Frank Roth here to show a new, fantastic label that they have launched called Soaring Rooster. We tasted these wines last fall and were very impressed by the taste as well as the price. For fans of really, well made red wines, this tasting is for you.
