Ep 23 The Wines of Argentina with Phil Crozier

This is the 1st episode of Season 3, and 'tis the season for many changes. We have lost co-host Jon so you are all stuck with good ol' me, Janina.   This episode is all about The Wines of Argentina and we have an incredibly knowledgable guest, Phil Crozier, taking us a little bit deeper into the world of Malbec, of Mendoza and of other exciting regions you may not have heard about. Phil Crozier is the European Brand Ambassador for Wines of Argentina and was instrumental to the growth and visibility of Malbec and Argentine wines in the UK. If you want to jump ahead to any parts: 2m16 - Learn about my winery of the week Bodega Otronia (The most southern commercial winery in the world) 5m11 - An Introduction into the wines of Argentina - looking at the subregions of Mendoza, the climate and the effect of the Andes Mountains, and a quick mention of the grape Bonarda that often is overlooked. 8m3 - Chat with Phil Crozier: He gives us great details about the effect of altitude and soils on the grape varieties. Learn more about the very south of Argentina and the very North. We also touch on the white grape variety Torrontes and its clones.  37m57 - Food pairings for Torrontes and Malbec 39m27 - Learn where Malbec comes from and the difference in flavours in its homeland   Hope you love this first, new and shiny episode, in a VERY different style than before.
