Wine and Cigars tips in Buenos Aires

Wine and Cigars tips in Buenos Aires
If you are taking a trip to Argentina you will find that there are plenty options of wine and cigars. You should plan on tasting a lot and maybe having the rest mailed back to your home so you don’t have to lug it around in the airport.

Catena House is a great choice for the Argentine red wines. The famous Catenas, Catena Alta, Catena Zapata and Angelica Zapata will delight any discerning palate. Other reds of note include Luigi Bosca and Los Nobles. If whites are more to your taste, the Norton Sauvignon is one of the finest you’ll find.

To complement the wines with a nice cigar, stop by Tabaqueria Inglesa. It’s on Paraguay Street, and Florida street, a few blocks from the Marriott Buenos Aires. They sell fine Cubans. Pick up a few and take your chances mailing them back to the US. It’s worth the risk – worst case you’ll just lose them in the mail!

    What an amazing article!!! I have been to Mendoza twice, and all your observations are spot on. A couple of small things I wanted to add. First, our winery visits were amazing. I found it unbelievable that a lot of the wineries served eight course lunches paired with their wines for around $20 to $30. Secondly, on a totally different subject, the Argentine people are prisoners of their own culture; however, they are aware of it. Latin culture in general dictates that one must take advantage of another or be taken advantage of. Even more interesting, many believe you are a fool for not doing so. In a word-trust. Which I would argue played a great role in our economic success. What really blew me away is the fact that most of the people understand this and blame Spain for this cultural trait. In the end, it seems that the government is unbelievably corrupt. Along with this there are extreme protectionist policies employed here.
