Argentine Beef
When someone thinks about the food in Argentina, beef is always the first thing to come to mind. Argentine´s claim it is the best in the world, and so do many foreigners. My personal opinion? It is excellent, but it is not the best in the world. I have tried steaks that are just as [...]
Top Argentine Wine Picks in Four Different Price Brackets

Fernet is actually an italian spirit, made from fermented grapes and a plethora of herbs. It is bitter and syropy, and has a taste similar to cough syrop. Just like mate, Fernet is generally an acquired taste, something you don´t like until you´ve tried it a number of times.
