I said the word “Argentinian” so many times I eventually started calling the country “Argentinia” 🤦♂️ But outside of that facepalming moment, this is such a great episode!
Part 1 covers everything Kate, her Substack, Portuguese wine, the background of the band and the album, and Tracks 1-4.
Part 2 will cover Tracks 5-11 and the wine pairings! (Again, coming tomorrow!)
Kate is a wine creative, writer, and educator who specializes in Portuguese wine. She comes from a 15+ year career in the fashion design industry and continues to practice visual art over on her Substack where she creates Wine Infographics and creates Visual Wine Tasting Notes.

KATE'S CHOICE: "La Revancha del Tango" (Revenge of the Tango) by Gotan Project is an incredible fusion of Argentinian Tango and French electronic dub for an album that made the "1001 Albums You Must Listen To Before You Die" book, and for good reason.
"Gotan" is "Tango" with switched syllables, a common wordplay in Tango lyrics called "el verse". The group was based in Paris, France, consisting of musicians Eduardo Makaroff (Argentinian), Philippe Cohen Solal (French) and Christoph H. Müller (Swiss).
THE WINES (and/or Not-Wines)
Coming in PART 2 tomorrow!
