A Nice White Wine From Argentina

Our dinner tonight was inspired by a trip to Italy, where we ate a delicious, simple salad made of tuna, lettuce, tomato, corn, and a high quality olive oil. We enjoyed this in Florence, with a view of the River Arno. Here's a picture of the dish from Italy.



Okay, so we used sardines instead, because that's what we had on hand. And no tomatoes. But we could have, because I just harvested a bunch from the garden.

We had a wine from a recent Argentina wine tasting, a 2009 Torrontes from La Yunta winery. Torrontes is a white wine grape, known for producing crisp, aromatic wines.



It paired really well with the salad - nice crisp acidity paired well with the fish.
