Also, The Good Argentine Wines is an editorial work that offers readers instructive information about the world of wine and the latest trends through notes written by the author, collaborators and invited industry leaders.
For this quinceañera edition, Elisabeth selected, tasting together with Fabricio, 568 wines among more than 655 labels from approximately 105 wineries; the Sparkling Products section recommends 44 “champagne, like in tango” labels, as Elisabeth likes to say, out of a total of 58 tasted. “We Argentines definitely know that in this country, a huge vineyard, there is a wine for every occasion, every state of soul or pocket. We know, forever, that the best wine is the one we like the most, and that those preferences may vary as the knowledge that we cultivate, pleasantly, during the confinement increases,” says ‘La’ Checa in the Editorial of The Good Argentine Wines 2022 as part of the conclusions of what the Pandemic left us.
The Good Argentine Wines was awarded three times in the category Best New World Wines Book for Argentina in the Gourmand Wine Books Awards in the New World Wine Books category, one ofthe most prestigious international awards that recognize gastronomic editorial production.
