Argentina, here we come

We booked another trip - this time to Argentina and Chile. No bicycling this time. This trip we are going to focus on wine tasting, sightseeing, and food.

Caren's cousin Barry and his wife Laurie (the wine gurus) are coming along.

Our itinerary starts in Buenos Aires, then we head to Mendoza (the heart of Argentina's wine country), fly over the Andes Mountains to Santiago, Chile, and finish with a few days in one of Chile's wine valleys.

We arranged the trip with Tim Robertson of Robertson Wine Tours. Tim is an expatriate from Great Britain who lives in Buenos Aires. If you ever consider a trip to South America, Tim is THE guy to call. He knows EVERYONE in the wine industry and has set us up with some one-of-a-kind arrangements that your typical tour never experiences.

We should have a fantastic time. It's the start of harvest and crush season down there, so there should be a lot of activity. Hopefully, we'll learn a lot about wines from Argentina and Chile so we can do some more buying for the wine cellar.

More to follow as we post our adventures.
