Once again, we present a word from our friends at Renaissance Wines, in the May exerpt from “Uncorked”…
“We love finding wines under $12 that blow us away. Unfortunately, these finds are rare indeed, but the Vila Tinto Fundacion out of Mendoza, definitely fits the profile. A blend of Argentina’s distinguished varietals – Bonarda, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon, this tender beauty is young and vivacious – a perfect summer red that pairs harmoniously with most meat dishes, and even stands up to grilled veggies and salmon. And the best part is, it’s only $7.85 a bottle! Try it today, you won’t be disappointed.”
