Here in Argentina I see this Terrazas wines everywhere, so much so that I was reluctant to try them. Now, knowing that a big company like Chandon is behind this winemaker I understand why. Will definitely try them now. Thanks for your video.
Thanks for this video! I have to admit that I don't drink a lot of wine, pretty much just an Argentine Malbec with a good steak since it's such a traditional pairing in Argentine cuisine. It was really interesting to hear exactly what the differences are between wines at different price points. If my budget allows, I may have to do a bit of experimentation in the future now that I am covering Argentine food on my channel. Once again, great video!
Excellent man, thanks for the positive feedback. Love you velvet cake video. Salud amigo :-) I'd love to go to Argentina, never been to South America although it's always been on my bucket list. Do you have Argentinian origins?
@@TH-camJulien Thank you! Everyone has nice things to say about my red velvet cake video! South America is definitely interesting. I am not Argentine: I studied abroad there and I know a lot of people from there...and somehow I became an Argentine chef, haha. Get ready for more Argentine recipes on my channel.👍
@@ParnellTheChef Great comments. I also studied abroad in Argentina, and in the wine-making region of Cuyo, but in San Juan rather than Mendoza. This was back in 1993-94, and a lot has happened since then, but it was great to drink the local wine, which was by then already of very high quality. In San Juan there was a similar process of modernization, refinement, investment happening, but the province was more known for white varieties. Not that I haven't tasted some fine San Juan reds. Chandon was a big player in San Juan even then.
I like Pascual Toso Malbec.... I always drink red wine slightly chilled after a sommelier In Lisbon recommended it.... smells better & more fruity when chilled
Agreed man. Especially the big reds with solid alcohol level, like those made in Argentina. It helps taming down the power a little. Never tried Toso. Thanks for the recommendation 👍😀🍷 merci
another great video, Julien. I especially appreciated the Christmas greeting and the admonition to enjoy one's family-family truly IS the most important thing of all.
Very enjoyable video, with some great information that I'm going to put to use. Having lived in Argentina (and in the wine-making region of Cuyo), I tried a variety of wines and once back in the U.S. would often only ever see Malbecs in a wine store or on a wine list. That made me think of Malbec as a fad, and one at the expense of people getting to know Argentine (and Chilean) Cabernet Sauvignon and red blends. I guess the success of the Malbec grape in Argentina has been a double-edged sword, crowding out appreciation of the other reds, but still motivating a greet deal of interest in the country's wines.
Thank you Anthony :) Cheers mate!I make quite a few wine videos on those other channels as well if you enjoy learning about wine on YT, this channel here: th-cam.com/channels/SHHB3SBhaygeRxzTBV5kMA.html and that one there: th-cam.com/channels/cKEdHaIX31LrywZmGwRUnw.html See you around 🥂😊
I personally love the various bottles of Argentinian Malbec made by Rodolfo Sadler, some of which are even cheaper than 20 dollars. You might not get the same texture of the more expensive bottles, but still smooth and delicious options for a great price. I am curious if you plan on doing any comparison videos between French and Argentinian Malbec? I have found that I like Argentinian Malbec better because it tends to be more fruit forward than French Malbec (at least with the bottles of each that I have tried). I really enjoyed the video, liked and subscribed.
Great review! Funny thing is that the prices are completely different here in Brazil, Cuvelier Los Andes Grand Malbec costs around USD 45, and Terrazas de los Andes Single Vineyard Las Compuertas is more expensive (around USD 60).
These were the golden days of wine, before the devastating pandemic. Let’s hope the good times will be here again, even if many a lovely people (RIP) are no longer around to share it.

I love wines from Argentina. I think you can get a good wine for under $20 and you can’t get any good wine from California for that price. Cheers 🍷

great video! For me the absolute winner in Argentinian wines under 50 euro's is the Séptima Gran Reserva 2017!
