Alamos 2008 Torrontes Salta ($13). Here’s an affordable white from Argentina that’s a nice surprise — intensely aromatic (floral and fresh, grapey notes) introduce medium-bodied, refreshing, orchard fruit flavors, light herbal accents, and juicy acidity on the finish. Ready to drink now. Locate this wine online or in your area. (2009-11-22)

Crios de Susana Balbo 2007 Torrontes Cafayate ($15). I absolutely loved this wine for its pretty, flowery aromas and ripe, full-bodied peach, tangerine and apricot skin flavors that stay dry and crisp through the lingering finish. Ready to drink now.
