Every year a tour of Malbec wine tastings is organized around the world, visiting the Netherlands this year. But the 200 year independence of Argentina was also celebrated at this Reception.
Many Ambassadors and spouses attended the event on a sunny afternoon at the banks of the Bergse plassen in Rotterdam with an ideal Dutch landscape as surroundings.
Besides excellent wines, the guests were able to enjoy a Tango performance and an introduction in Argentinean wine.

The Mendel 2008, which can be found in many upmarket restaurants around the world, was particularly appreciated as a matured wine, wood, tannin with a blackberry and vanilla after taste.
