Will the real wino please stand up…

I’m doing some translation work at home tonight, and thought it would be nice to have a glass of wine beforehand, as a way to separate my daytime work from my nighttime work.  What a lovely ritual, I say.  Normally I go for the Tuscan wines, as an homage to the birthplace of my soul, but tonight I thought an Argentine wine would be wonderful.

I chose something I’ve never seen before: A grape called Bonarda.  It’s a grape brought to Argentina by Italian immigrants.  I was surprised when I found this out - an Italian grape the I, l’Italiana-Americana, didn’t know about?

Here is some information on the Bonarda grape.
