Wine is not just a beverage. Wine, at its best, is capable of so much more. Wine can act like a form of art, creating a sensory experience that is greater than the sum of its parts. It can even be an emotional experience, for that wine is often the chosen accompaniment to meaningful events such as large wedding banquets to simple romantic dinners for two.

The best wines are those that most purely and transparently express the natural personality of its origins. Therefore, the job of the winemaker is to harness this natural expression and to get it into bottle without interfering too much. If a winemaker manipulates the wine too much, too much oak, too much extraction, it gets in the way of the natural 'voice' of the wine.

There is a place and use for all kinds of wines. Simple inexpensive wines are basic and lack a little depth but if they are natural and feel alive, then these types of wines have something to offer and is especially pleasing during casual get-togethers or to accompany light meals during hot days. Likewise for pricier wines, which are invariably more complex and long-lived, are suitable for certain key events in one's life such as graduations and celebrations, and are most suitable when paired with a gourmet dining experience.

The Argentine wine industry is the fifth leading producer of wine in the world. During the Spanish colonization of the Americas, vine cuttings were brought in 1557, and the cultivation of the grape and wine production stretched first to neighboring regions, and then to other parts of the country. Due to the high altitude and low humidity of the main wine producing regions, Argentine vineyards rarely face the problems of grape diseases and this permits cultivating with little or no pesticides, allowing even organic wines to be easily produced.
