A $5 bottle of Argentine wine - Malbec aged in oak - with a much bigger taste than its price would indicate.
One of our favorite budget wines - Pedro del Castillo, Tempranillo 2006. It cost about $3.50 and was more than drinkable right out of the bottle.
Crushed roasted red pepper with walnuts and olive oil was one of our favorite appetizers at Sarkis, an Armenian restaurant in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
