Fruit Stand

M and I just returned from an adventure to Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was summer there and we had some humid days in the high 90's so returning to the deep freeze of Minnesota was oddly pleasant. They do things differently down there. There are small specialized grocery stores everywhere. We ate more fruit both with breakfast and in a wine drink called "clerico". It is similar to sangria only made with white wine. The food network has a recipe that I think duplicates what we had. Look for the recipe at: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/michelle-bernstein/clerico-summer-white-sangria-recipe/index.html Generally we tend to buy our wine at Morelli's, a market that would fit in nicely into one of the neighborhoods in Buenos Aires. It is located just a mile out of downtown on Payne and Tedesco. See their online specials at http://www.morellismarket.com because sometimes you need to print out a coupon. This week they offer a deal on an Argentine white wine with a Torronte grape made by Alamos. I had not heard of that grape, but have been enjoying the red Malbec wines from Argentina. An article in the NY Times http://nyti.ms/gucvSq suggests "TORRONTÉS has been touted as the hottest thing to arrive from Argentina since the tango." Ok, we'll see about that.
