This week Unfiltered won't cry for Argentina because Argentina has come to the Heritage Radio Network studio in the form of Tomás Machado de Villefañe of Don Manuel Villefañe Wines. Tomás has become synonomous with Malbec and Torrontes in the wine world where his wines have garnered critical acclaim; the latter's 2010 vintage has been named by Wine Enthusiast as one their Top 100 Wines. On the show they try both of these fine vintages, talk about differences of higher-elevation grapes and the rising popularity of pumpkin wine, just in time to make the most out of your Halloween leftovers.
