Wine-tasting is totally a must-go-to happening these days, dahlings. So it was no surprise when the Embassy of Argentina, headed by Ambassador Joaquin Daniel Otero, hosted a divine wine-tasting event at the Palm Grove in Rockwell, dahlings.

Also present was Embassy Minister Jaime Goldaracena.

The loudest whisper was about the premium wine of Lagarde, “Henry,” brought in by young achievers Bobby Tenchavez and Carlo Lorenzana, from the Lagarde Vineyards in Lujan de Cujo, Mendoza, Argentina no less.

Bobby T. explained that Henry is named after the owner of the vineyard, Enrique “Henry” Pescarmona, and only 8,000 bottles are produced every year. Each year, the grapes are selected by a panel of world-renowned experts who choose the best of the harvest.

But that did not end there, palanggas. More wine was poured, including the Torontes and the Guarda, two other favorites among the invitees.
