Bravo seems to be a supermarket in Santo Domingo with good wine buyers. Their selection is not huge but from what I have tasted in the 'medium bracket' price range....$10 - $15, I think they do very well. I often get my weekend bottles there.
I am a fan of Argentinian wine with a liking for a good Malbec which is what we see as the regular Argentinian fare. Good selection at the Argentinian steak house in Bella Vista by the Embajador Hotel.
I noticed this week a new line of wines Bravo had introduced from Argentina when visiting their outlet on Independencia, and what caught my eye was a single variety Cabernet Franc bottle. It is a wine usually used for blends and you find it in smaller quantities in some of the best Clarets. My fond recollection is finding it from small wine producers in the Loire Valley in France as a single variety and enjoying it chilled with some outdoor bbq food or local cheeses and grapes.
The wine producer this one comes from is as link.....
