I made the rounds yesterday grocery shopping. Sam's Club, Costco, and Kroger. At each stop I browsed the wine department. There were many new and interesting wines to try. I ended up purchasing 10 bottles. Some red, some white and this one sparkling from Argentina.
Dolce 2011 Torrontes ($8 at Sam's Club) is from La Riojana in Famatina Valley, Argentina. (La Riojana is a co-operative of over 500 smalll-scale producers, dating back to the 1940's when it was started by Italian immigrants.) Dolce is a sparkling wine, 100% Torrontes. The aroma is a light floral. The flavor reminiscent of a green apple Jolly Rancher. Not overly sweet. Extremely bubbly. Crisp and refreshing. I found it to be enjoyable. Perfect for the summer.
Winemaker's Notes: Light yellow with greenish tones, persisting small bubbles that blow up from the bottom of a wineglass. It has a delicate fragrance of flowers with a citrus touch of grapefruit. Its flavor is intense with a fresh vibrance, allowing aromas such as apples and melon to flourish.
