Bodegas Lagarde 'Atlas Cumbres' Torrontes, Mendoza, Argentina.

They serve this wine at my favourite restaurant and I am rather partial to it. Can't get it in LCBO of course.

Any suggestions for something similar?. I'm thinking Viognier

Blue nun?

Wasn't she the porn star secretly married to the last pope?

They sell that in the village, along with Piat D'Or, Mateus Rose, Black Tower, and Avelada. It's like being in the 70s again.

I know bugger all about wine. If it costs around $16 a bottle then ill buy it. I tried "little penguin" something or others. They were quite nice. If I'm taking one as a "gift" then ill spend $25 - $40 depending who its for. That's my criteria. There is one out called "bitch" though. This might be the new go to.

Reminds me of Liebfraumilch, Black Forest Gateaux and Berni Inns ......... which were then a step up from chicken in a basket in the late 60s/early 70s.....

I don't know the wine you mention, but when it comes to Viognier, I like this one:

I much prefer a bottle of Chateau Bollox

I hear people mentioning that all the time.

I do like the reds Cono Sur have so maybe will try that one - if I can get it.

Verboten in some circles

Nothing wrong with a nice bottle of Black Tower and a gammon and chips.

Oh heck yes, my husband is teetotal. Still, more for me.
