Argentina and Cahors united under the Malbec banner
The International Days showed how Argentina and Cahors can work together to promote this difficult but rewarding grape. Unfortunately, the message didn't reach everybody and we might read from time to time some unfortunate comments such as those published in the blog <a href="http://www.sourgrapes.ie/2008/04/27/wine-from-cahor/">sourgrapes.com</a>: "[...]the new threat to Cahors could be said to be Argentinian Malbec, which
is getting better and better. Poor Cahors will never have it easy." On the contrary, Argentina and Cahors signed several partnerships and are working together on Malbec. Even more important, the historical background of the Malbec of Cahors will give its legitimacy to the more recent Argentinian Malbec while the success of the Argentinian wines will help Cahors grow its reputation on the international markets.
