On April 17th we celebrated Malbec World Day at the Argentine Consulate General in Frankfurt. It was a wonderful evening full of great conversation, cultural exchange and excellent wines.
Consul General (a.i.) Frederico Franceschini hosted a select group of guests, including the Consul General of Chile and German authorities. The local press covered the event:
