When we were in Germany a few days ago, we decided to buy a few more bottles of what has become our own "house wine," the Argentinian Piropo from Argento Wine Company. The word piropo means "an amorous compliment or flirtatious remark made by a man to a woman as she passes on the street" according to the text on the bottle. The wine itself is said to share and inspire the fantasy and confidence of a piropo.

So far we've only tested the Malbec version — and it's certainly very nicely rounded and almost chocolaty — and we've also bought the white Chardonnay and intend to taste that too — very soon.
