KATE'S CHOICE: "La Revancha del Tango" by Gotan Project is an incredible fusion of Argentinian Tango and French electronic dub for an album that made the "1001 Albums You Must Listen To Before You Die" book, and for good reason.
"Gotan" is "Tango" with switched syllables, a common wordplay in Tango lyrics called "el verse". The group was based in Paris, France, consisting of musicians Eduardo Makaroff (Argentinian), Philippe Cohen Solal (French) and Christoph H. Müller (Swiss).
THE WINES
KATE'S WINE:
Phulia 'Desvirttuado' Loureiro White 2021
Lima, Vinho Verde, Portugal
Phulia are risk takers and love to subvert the norm - hence their Desvirttuado brand - meaning 'distorted' or 'misrepresented'. Here they have aged Loureiro, which is very uncommon in the Vinho Verde, to create something very unique!

Although very uncommon to do so, Loureiro has excellent ageing potential, with its ability to still retain its freshness, fruitiness and florality (is that a word?) The wine is made from a combination of 50% aged in barrel and 50% aged in steel, both for 1 year. Then the bottle is allowed to age another year before it can be drunk.
DALLAS' WINE:
Bodegas Lopez Vasco Viejo Malbec, 2020
Mendoza, Argentina
A medium-bodied wine with surprising depth and savory notes for its modest price. It is forward and easygoing offering up an enticing nose of spice box and black cherry. This provides much pleasure and is an ideal barbecue wine. 3 months in French Nancy oak vats ranging in size from 5,000-25,000 liters. Organically farmed.

DAVE'S WINE:
Zuccardi "Concreto" Malbec, 2021
Uco Valley, Argentina
100% Malbec aged in pure, uncoated concrete.
The 2021 Concreto Malbec has to be one of the finest vintages of this wine despite its youth. This is the wine that explains the Zuccardi philosophy without breaking your piggy bank. It is delicious, serious, approachable and has aging potential. What else do you want?
