The Argentine King of Houston Texas

I've been working the Houston market all week for Vine Connections, too many wines and ginjo sakes to list right now but I'll tell you something - the 2004 Tikal Patriota gets the gold crown! I've always loved this wine, a 60% Bonarda 40% Malbec blend, average age of the vines are 40 years and each grape that went into the Patriota bottles were all hand-harvested.

"Love in a bottle" for sure, the retail price is around $25 and is a perfect pairing for "date night"... oh yeah! Look for it at the Backstreet Cafe and Hugo's next time...Cheers - Ali
