Tempus Alba Tempranillo 2005
This wine was recommended to me as a good tempranillo, which aren’t easy to find in Argentina. It is made from 100% tempranillo, from the Tupungato region of Mendoza, and is aged in oak barrels for 6 months.
I must say I was a little dissapointed. The wine has a nice, rich pomegranate color. On the [...]
Amalaya Gran Corte 2009
The Amalay Gran Corte is a blend of mainly Malbec with Cabernet Franc and Tanna, and is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. It is a fantastic wine in every way – it is a full-bodied wine with a rich, ruby red color. The nose is dominated by dark red fruit, which also [...]
Felino Viña Cobos Merlot 2009
Merlot is not one of Argentina’s strong points when it comes to wine, but this one came highly recommended, so I was willing to try it. It came at a cost ($65 pesos), but you have to be willing to pay the price if you want a decent Argentine Merlot.
This particular wine is from Viña [...]
Palo Alto Pinot Noir 2008
I recently tried the Septima Noche pinto noir, which I thoroughly enjoyed….something that does not happen often when I am drinking a pinot noir in Argentina. A good pinot is a rare find and you have to spend at least $70 pesos to find one that is half-decent. I was recommended the Palo Alto pinot [...]
Patio 378 – Novotel Hotel
Patio378 is the hotel restaurant for Novotel, which is located right on Corrientes near the obelisk, and is a bit like an oasis in the dessert. They have a beautiful patio on the ground floor behind the hotel that is quiet and relaxing, a complete contrary to the craziness found outside the front doors of [...]
Mauricio Lorca Wines
I was recently at a small tasting of wines by Mauricio Lorca. Mauricio Lorca is a well-known young winemaker, who has worked for prestigious bodegas such as Luigi Bosca and Finca La Celia. He later opened his own winery, under his own name, which is a small, boutique winery located in Vista Flores, [...]
Japanese Gardens Cafe
The Japanese Gardens are a great spot to spend a weekend afternoon. They are beautiful, peaceful, and different from what you normally see in Buenos Aires parks. In addition to the gardens, they also have a greenhouse, a building for Japanese cultural events, and a restaurant.
The restaurant is pretty basic inside, and looks like a [...]
Quimbombó
Located right on Parque Palermo Viejo, Quimbombó is a natural food restaurant with one of the best patios in Palermo. The building has three stories, and all three are super chill, very comfortable, and very inviting. It’s the sort of place you feel could stay at all day, lazing about drinking cocktails and watching the [...]
El Transito | Pietro Marini Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Pietro Marini is a small, boutique winery located right on the outskirts of Cafayate. This wine is not for the faint of heart, nor for those who love juicy red shiraz from Australia. However, I would have to put it in one of my favorite wines that I have tried in Argentina because [...]
Sipan
Sipan was one of the first Japanese-Peruvian restaurants in Buenos Aires, and has a great reputation. This is one of my favorite types of cuisine, and I´ve been dying to try this place out for AGES. Finally, I got the opportunity, and was VERY impressed.
The restaurant is located in the microcentro, which during the day [...]
