Several Argentine winemakers walked away with prestigious medals at the recent Mediterranean International Wine & Spirits Challenge - Terravino 2008, including a couple of wineries that are in the Anuva Vinos Wine Club. Bodega Sin Fin and Las Perdices both won awards for having some of the best price-to-quality ratios around. 
In fact, not only did Las Perdices win for its Don Juan Reserve Blend as well as Sauvignon Blanc, it was also awarded one of the highest accolades of the event, winning a Double Gold Medal for its Tinamú Blend. Though Anuva Vinos currently doesn’t feature it, it’s coincidentally sitting one of the desks in our offices right now, an artifact from a recent blind taste test for our next shipment.
It’s great to see Argentina garnering more and more recognition not only for the great price-to-quality wines its producing, but also for the sheer high quality of the wines its producing. Salud!
(PS. Don’t be overly shocked if you happened to find the Las Perdices Sauvignon Blanc in one of the next upcoming shipments….)

I’ve heard good things about Las Perdices. Haven’t had the chance to taste one yet, but will try to source it out here in California. I researched the Don Juan Reserva Blend and it looks delicious! Malbec 70%/Syrah 11%/Bonarda 10%/Merlot 9%.
The marriage between Malbec and Bonarda is always phenomenal.
Salud!!
