It's wine from the upside-down side of the world! Do the vines grow downward into the soil in Argentina? Do they have to stomp the grapes to get the skins back on? Are the stems on top of their wine glasses? We have so many questions about winemaking down there - questions that must go unanswered, because they are so stupid.
Whatever the deal is, these Recuerdo wines are perfectly right-side-up by the time they get here. The Malbec is as sensuous as a couple dancing the tango, and as fruity and spicy as a couple dancing the tango in a pie factory. The Torrontes is bright and fresh and zippy like some metaphor we can't think of, but don't hold our inarticulacy against it.
Maybe the right-side-up and upside-down halves of the world aren't so different. We can all agree that this Recuerdo six-pack is very delicious - or, as they would say in Argentina, snoᴉɔᴉlǝp ʎɹǝʌ.
