Alright, alright, let’s talk about this “Argentine Red Crossword” thing. I don’t know much about fancy crosswords, you know? Back in my days, we didn’t have time for such things. We were busy working in the fields, sun up to sun down. But I heard some folks talking about it, so I figured I’d give it a shot, explain it in my own way.
So, this “Argentine Red,” it sounds like some kind of wine or somethin’. You know, that red stuff they drink at fancy parties. I ain’t much of a drinker myself, a little homemade brew now and then is all I need. But these city folks, they like their fancy wines. So, if they’re asking about an “Argentine Red” in a crossword, they probably want the name of some wine.
Now, I ain’t no expert, but I asked around. Seems like there’s a lot of red wines from Argentina. They say Malbec is a real popular one. Heard it’s dark and strong, like that coffee my grandson drinks. Then there’s Bonarda, another one they mentioned. Sounds like a fancy name, don’t it? And there’s others too, lots of ‘em. I can’t remember all them names, too many for my old head.
- Malbec – That’s the one most folks talk about. Said it’s real good with meat, you know, like a steak. Not that I eat much steak these days, can’t chew it like I used to.
- Bonarda – This one’s a bit lighter, they say. More fruity, like them berries we used to pick back home. Good memories, those were.
- Other stuff- There’s a whole bunch more, but like I said, my memory ain’t what it used to be. They say some are cheap, some are expensive, some are sweet, some are dry. Too much to keep track of, if you ask me.
So, if you’re stuck on this crossword clue, “Many an Argentine Red,” you could try putting in Malbec or Bonarda. Those seem to be the popular choices. Or maybe they want somethin’ more general, like just “wine” or “vino.” You know, they like to be tricky with them crosswords. Tryna make you feel dumb, I reckon.
Honestly, I don’t see the point of all this fuss. Seems like a waste of time to me. But hey, if it makes folks happy, then who am I to judge? Maybe it keeps their minds sharp, like my grandma used to say, “Use it or lose it.” She was talking about her legs, but I guess it applies to the brain too.
I remember one time, my nephew came visitin’ from the city. He had one of them crossword books. He sat there for hours, scribblin’ away, lookin’ all serious. I asked him what he was doin’, and he said he was “exercising his brain.” I just laughed. I told him, “Boy, you wanna exercise your brain, come help me weed the garden! That’ll give your brain a workout, and your body too!” He didn’t appreciate that too much, I tell ya.
Anyway, back to this “Argentine Red” business. If they’re askin’ for a specific wine, and it ain’t Malbec or Bonarda, then I’m out of ideas. Maybe you gotta look it up online, or ask one of them wine experts. They got folks for everything these days, I swear. You need a special tool to open a can? They got a guy for that. You need someone to tell you what kind of red wine comes from Argentina? They got a guy for that too.
So, there you have it. My two cents on the “Argentine Red Crossword.” Not much, I know, but it’s the best I can do. I ain’t no fancy crossword solver, just a simple old woman trying to make sense of these city folks’ games. If you need help with somethin’ practical, like fixin’ a fence or makin’ a good pot of stew, then you come talk to me. But crosswords? That’s a whole ‘nother world, I tell ya.
And don’t forget, they like to play with words in them crosswords. They might not want the name of a wine at all! They could be looking for something else red from Argentina, like a flower or a kind of cloth or something. It’s like tryin’ to catch a greased pig, this crossword business! So good luck to you, and don’t get too frustrated if you can’t figure it out. Life’s too short to worry about a few little boxes and words.
