Wine tasting, Mendoza, Argentina


No trip to Mendoza is complete without a trip to a winery. 70% of the wine produced in Argentina comes from the Mendoza region and I must admit I have become partial to the odd glass Malbec lately.

I visit La Rural and Don Arturo - two very different wineries or 'bodegas'. In both I'm taken on a tour of the vineyards and educated on the process of harvesting, production and storage of wines. And then comes the fun part - the tasting.

I bet you were in your element weren't you?
I'm sure you gave the other wine tasters a run for their money.
Oh and by the way your suppose to spit the wine out (you know I'm only kidding!)
