We came back from Argentina about a month ago and even though 90% of the wine we tried is exported to the US, you can only find 10-15% of them in Minneapolis. The only ones easy to find seem to be Trapiche, Norton, and Catena. This would be OK if everyone didn't carry the same producers. Many of the wineries in Argentina are small, but there's some great wines to be found. You can find some of the Benegas wines in town (which are amazing IMO) but other than that there's very little wine you can find from these smaller producers. I hope as we finish some of the wines we purchased we'll be able to special order them, but until then I'll just stick with the places I currently go until I find a more distinctive selection of South American wines.
