Soft and Sexy

MENDOZA, ARGENTINA

I have one word to say about the wines of Argentina: tango. The Argentines “get” desire. Not surprisingly, Argentine Malbec (the leading red) is all about intriguing earthiness and oozy softness. Food tip: The Argentines consume more beef per capita than any other country, so if your cozy night involves a grilled steak, this is your wine.
