($11, Vintus Imports):  Since 1988, Jacques and François Lurton, sons of André Lurton, the patriarch of one of Bordeaux’s most important families, have established wineries outside of Bordeaux and have become one of the leading producers in Argentina.  Torrontés, Argentina’s signature white grape, is under appreciated and deserves the popularity that Malbec has.  Lurton’s Torrontés startles the senses because it smells sweet, but is dry.  The Muscat-like floral notes suggest sweetness, but its riveting acidity makes it dry.  It works equally well as a stand-alone aperitif as it does with spiced Spanish or Asian cuisine.  A great value. 87 Michael Apstein Jan 24, 2012
