Nieto Senetiner, Valle de Cafayate (Salta, Argentina) Torrontés 2013

($11, Foley Family Wines): Torrontés, Argentina’s signature white grape, is gaining in popularity as consumers realize the zingy wine, such as this one, it can produce and, at a bargain price.  Fresh, clean and zippy, Nieto Senetiner’s curiously has a whiff of mintiness that lends roundness, which actually allows consumer to enjoy it as a stand-alone aperitif.  Its best use, however, is to offset spicy Asian fare or a pork loin in a mustard cream sauce.
