    Living in New Zealand has a lot of perks, and I'm a fan of NZ's wide variatey of great red and white wines, they do some great Malbec here too, however I know what you mean about Argentinian... I've had a few over the years and
    every time... Damn!

    I went to San Miguel De Allende, MX for a vacation back in 2009, and loved
    it - a little artists enclave in the high desert in Mexico dating back to
    the 1600s.

    We drank a lot of Uruguayan wine called a Tannat, it was an interesting
    little red, reminded me of a good chianti. Did I mention we drank a lot of
    it? With the exchange rate it worked out to around USD$7 a bottle - in a restaurant!

    I've started seeing them around here in California recently, but with all of the wine we have locally, it's hard for an import to get a foothold here.

    Same with Pinotage, a South African variety. It's a variety of Pinot made
    for hotter, arid climates and has a slight grapefruity finish to it.

    Cheaper Pinotages were all grapefruit. :)


    ... Now, I'm getting notes of Tomato...

    What varieties? All we see in the USA from South America are Malbecs,
    mostly, and the odd Tannat.

    Well, what I see here is:

    Argentine: malbec
    Urugay : tannat
    Chile: Cabernet Sauvignon or Carmenere
    Portugal: aaah.. lots of stuff hehehe

    those are the ones most used here, from those countries. ok, are there Cabenets
    from Argentine, too? sure, but much less tham malbecs, and so on

    Yes, theres a lot of cabernet here in Argentina. But Malbec is what we used
    to export, thats for sure!!
