going back to Argentina

[tanguera]

I'll be returning to Argentina in April. Every trip I bring back a case (6 bottles) of assorted wine. This time I'd like to go with some recommendations. I'll pay up to $US20 for a bottle (but don't need to spend that much). Any suggestions?

Hi Tanguera, and welcome to the Wine Board. Two of our favorites are Bodegtas Crotta Tempranillo and Domingo Molina Malbec. Both are closer to $10 than $20.

Since when is a case 6 bottles?

Hello Bucko.
For some years now many, many wines here have been imported in 6-bottle cases. I'm told it's because the lighter weight makes it easier for female shop assistants/customers to carry them.

We're getting an increasing number of wines coming into the shop in 6 bottle cases. I shelved some Cloudy Bay Chard and SB, as well as Tresor yesterday. Almost all of the Barolos are coming in six packs, too.

All of the big boys are sending out their product in 6-packs. The only exception I've seen lately is the Ch. Montelena I ordered on futures. WW

Thank you for the suggestions. I have to open a few of these bottles and then let you know what I think. I'll get on that soon.
