Expressions of Argentina – A Winemaker Spotlight Tasting

Join us for a special evening celebrating the diverse voices and landscapes of Argentine wine with Expressions of Argentina, a guided tasting featuring two acclaimed winemakers whose portfolios span some of the country’s most exciting labels and regions.

We are honored to welcome Alejandro Kuschnaroff of Ernesto Catena Vineyards and Gaspar Mausbach of Buscado Vivo o Muerto and TintoNero. Together, they represent a new generation of Argentine winemaking—one that blends deep respect for tradition with a relentless curiosity about terroir, elevation, and vineyard expression. Throughout the evening, they will share personal stories from the cellar, insights into their winemaking philosophies, and the unique characteristics of Argentina’s diverse growing regions, from the classic vineyards of Mendoza to the high-altitude precision of the Valle de Uco and Paraje Altamira.

This tasting is designed to highlight how a single country can produce a remarkable range of styles—from vibrant sparkling rosé to structured mountain reds—each shaped by soil, altitude, climate, and the vision of the winemaker. Guests will have the opportunity to explore multiple “expressions” of Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, and more, while learning how site selection and vineyard management influence the final glass.

Wines Featured

• Alma Negra Brut Rosé (NV), Mendoza – A sparkling Malbec-based rosé that opens the evening with freshness and lively fruit.

• Buscado Vivo o Muerto Chardonnay “La Verdad,” Mendoza – A bright, expressive white showcasing the clarity and balance possible in Argentina’s cooler vineyard sites.

• TintoNero Cabernet Franc, Valle de Uco – A structured and aromatic red that reflects the precision and elevation of Uco Valley fruit.

• Alma Negra “M” Blend (2019), Mendoza – A rich and layered blend of Bonarda and Malbec that demonstrates the power and elegance of thoughtful blending.

• TintoNero Malbec “Finca La Escuela,” Paraje Altamira – A focused, terroir-driven Malbec with mineral tension and depth from one of Argentina’s most celebrated sub-regions.

• Siesta Cabernet Sauvignon, Mendoza – A bold yet polished Cabernet that rounds out the tasting with classic structure and approachability.

Expressions of Argentina is more than a tasting—it is a conversation about place, craft, and identity. Whether you are already a fan of Argentine wines or simply curious to explore beyond the familiar, this evening offers a rare opportunity to meet the winemakers themselves and experience firsthand the stories, soils, and styles that make Argentina one of the most dynamic wine regions in the world.
