This guided tasting is hosted by Jasmine Montgomery\, sommelier and founder of Fenix Cellars\, she has 2 decades in the wine and hospitality industry with 15 of them spent in Mendoza Argentina.  Featured Wines by Bodega Clement\, Mendoza ArgentinaWhy Argentina? Argentina is quietly leading the way in many of these conversations\, with organically farmed vineyards\, low-intervention winemaking\, heritage varietals\, and naturally balanced wines that rely less on heavy manipulation and more on place. This tasting highlights that evolution through a carefully curated lineup.  This tasting includes five low-intervention\, sustainably sourced wines from Bodega Clement\, a producer founded by Lis Clement\, creator of Malbec World Day and a pioneer of modern Argentine wine.
