Thomas Woolrych in Argentina Day 11: People and families matter in Argentina.

Sounds trite but it's true. Especially if you are looking for quality. When we buy wine, we favour family producers.

Tasting of 50 wines today with the Zuccardi family in Mendoza. Headman Jose Alberto was delighted to know that he was dealing with another family company that had wine at its heart. You can tell he cares about what he's doing and that's what we look for. The big corporate giants with their megabrands wouldn't turn out on a Sunday morning like this. It really is a people business.
