Moving right along

Two things:

First, I take back what I said about BA being a racist city. The more I look around the more I realize how diverse this place really is, and furthermore, I get asked for directions in Argentinian Spanish almost every single day. That took me a month to happen in Barcelona.

Second, I just booked a flight for next week, October 1st, to Santiago, Chile. It was somewhat impuslive, but I'm excited to explore a new city alone now that everything in BA is starting to become routine. I'm considering adding Valparaiso (on the Chilean Pacific coast) or Mendoza, Argentina (the wine region) to the trip. Feel free to comment/email with suggestions.

Excellent plan. Here's some info and vineyards if you get to Mendoza (Paul Hobbs is a particular favorite of ours):

Food Pairings

Definitely a red meat wine that is versatile enough to stand up to Mexican, Cajun, Indian or Italian fare (especially with tomato-based sauces).

Key Producers to Try:

Don Miguel Gascon

Altos Las Hormigas

Paul Hobbs

Viu Manent

Bodega Norton
