Lujuria Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Lujuria is one of Suter´s upper end line of wines. The 2007 cabernet is a complex, full bodied wine full of ripe red fruit flavors, with smoky and spicy undertones. It has a nice long finish, where you will notice some vanilla and chocolate notes as well. I must say, this wine was a nice [...]

Don Nicanor Blend 2008
This wine is a classic from Nieto Sentiner. It is a blend of Malbec, CabSav, and Merlot, and this particular vintage is from 2008. It was a very impressive wine – medium bodied, complex flavors, well-rounded tanins and a very long, finish.
Nose: very fruity with a hint of wood.
Palate: This is a jammy wine, [...]

El Francés
It was a Friday night and we were craving French food – we were hoping for fondue, but to my dismay found that our local fondue favorite had shut down…so we decided to try El Francés, a small bistro style French restaurant in Palermo SoHo. The atmosphere is nice, it is very spacious, large windows, [...]
Finca Beltram – Malbec
This wine has to open up a bit (about 30min), but once it has done so, it is pretty decent. Rich red berry, fig, and vanilla flavors lead to a medium finish with hints of leather and coffee. The tannins are a little astringent, but it is quite decent for a $10 peso wine. Would [...]
Humberto Canal Blanc de Noir Blush 2009
This is a rose wine that will bring back memories of the sweet blush zinfandels from the 90s. Sweet, cloying, no complexity, and a poor finish make this wine a dud. Unless you liked those zinfandels, this one is not worth trying. A disappointment from Humberto Canale, which for the most part [...]
Benihana
Benihana is a small chain from the US and has recently entered the Argentine market. They are best known for their teppanyaki style meals, where they cook your meal in front of you on a hibachi grill. More than just cooking the food, they turn the process into show.
The Buenos Aires location is located at [...]
La Lechuza
When translated to English, the term “lechuza” means Owl. A weird name for a restaurant if you ask me, but why it has that name becomes more evident once you enter the restaurant. Through the entrance and around to the left is a wall dedicated to art of Owls – paintings, drawings, sketches etc, some [...]
