sounds great. Maybe this November I can go to what was once the Blanchard conference. Can't think of what they call it now. I don't like that Marriott, but I have over a million points and can stay free leaving more money for wine and dinner. MP

THE DOW JONES TORRONTES INDEX In a broad blind tasting of Torrontés from Argentina, these were our favorites. This white wine is best young and pairs beautifully with grilled seafood and similar summer fare. Don David (Michel Torino Estate) 'Reserve' 2007 (Cafayate Valley), $16* Delicious Best of tasting. Pure, juicy nose of distilled apples, peaches and pears. Exceptionally clean, intense wine with a remarkable finish of peaches and pears. Bracing. Zolo (Fincas Patagonicas) 2007 (Mendoza), $12* Very Good/Delicious Best value. Juicy, with oranges, grapefruit and a touch of honey. Balanced and grown-up. Satisfying and sophisticated, with lovely fruit and admirable restraint. Alamos (Catena) 2007 (Salta), $10* Very Good White peaches and minerals. Almost a Riesling-like purity; fruity without being sweet. Quite tangy. Lots of tropical fruit, especially Persian lime. Pannotia Vineyards 2006 (Salta), $7.99 Very Good Nice intensity of fruit, with some roasted almonds and grapefruit and a drop of honey that gives it a hint of brown sugar. Multilayered taste and rich in its own way. Tomero Wines 2007, $21 Very Good Really fine, with lots of lime, plenty of juiciness, some flowers and minerals. Quite crisp.We also liked the 2006. Crios de Susana Balbo 2007 (Salta), $14.99 Good/Very Good Fun, with tangy, lively fruit and a bit more oily mouthfeel than others. Finca La Linda 2007 (Cafayate, Salta), $8.99 Good/Very Good Imagine sunshine on gravelly soil—clean, fresh and nicely earthy. Tastes less like specific fruits than it feels like winning sunshine. Trivento 2007 (Mendoza), $10.99 Good/Very Good Very fresh and clean, with some spritz. Peach, kiwi and lemon. Fun summer sipping wine. From today's WSJ. Zolo stands out on the list. They seldom rate a wine Delicious. Usually some stratospheric Cal Cab or First growth frenchie. MP
