Argentine Wines Celebrated at FREE Consumer Tasting

Wine lovers, start your engines! On Saturday, April 15th Marquis Wine Cellars will host Stock Up for Malbec World Day, a FREE tasting at which guests will enjoy samples of 8 select Argentine wines paired with empanadas. The featured wines will be 10% off throughout April, and the shop will also have an eye-catching front window display of wines from the country to illustrate the amazing depth and breadth of what Argentina has to offer – and is available right here in BC!

This year’s Malbec World Day falls on Monday, April 17th. The country’s flagship varietal will be in the spotlight at the lively Marquis event, at which guests will enjoy wine samples, empanadas with traditional chimi churri sauce from Panaderia Latina Bakery, and live music provided by Andre Stepanian. Argentina offers excellent value at all price points, so the event is a great opportunity to find some new favourites and stock up for the summer ahead. The following wines will be featured:

Bodega Luigi Bosca | Familia Arizu La Linda Malbec
Bodega Piedra Negra Malbec
Domaine Bousquet Cameleon Malbec
Finca Decero Malbec
