Our take: Avondale’s Argentinian hearth: La Nonna grills like your abuela, if she was a gaucho. Bring a big, bold Malbec and saddle up for a beefy ride.

Wine Pairing: For Argentinian cuisine, bring a bold Malbec from Mendoza or a Torrontés for white. A Bonarda is a great alternative red.

Beer Pairing: Quilmes is the classic Argentinian beer choice. For a craft option, try a malty Scotch Ale to stand up to grilled meats.

Spirits Pairing: Fernet-Branca is hugely popular in Argentina. Bring a bottle for authentic after-dinner drinks. For variety, try a Pisco or Singani.
