($11, Banfi Imports): Originally a Spanish grape found in Galicia, Torrontes is very popular in Argentina.  This is a deceptive wine.  The wonderfully floral element–almost Muscat-like–tricks you into thinking what follows will be sweet.  But it’s not.  Dry, bright and brisk, the aromatics continue into the finish continuing the paradox. It’s a great aperitif that you can carry to the table for a first course of seafood or even pates. 87 Michael Apstein Apr 22, 2008
