It takes some balls to charge $45/btl for Argentinian Semillon

Nice. I swear Argentina wines don’t get the respect they deserve, there’s a lot going on there other than just Malbec.

Semillon and Cab Franc are without a doubt the future of Argentina IMO (or atleast Mendoza.)
If you get a chance there is a (at this point) legendary very old Semillon vinyard in Peral, alot of new young new gaurd get a small allocation and produce some expectacular bottlings.
