the best boutique wines around. As soon as things get solidified we’ll share their stories on our website. Stay Tuned!Narrowing our pick down to five was difficult, but we made our final decision by first doing a blind taste test in the comfort of our apartment. Ashley and I sat down to over 20 bottles of wine and a few bars of dark chocolate. Let’s just say we went late, became intimately familiar with our favorites, and woke up with a bit of a headache.
I know. Quite the chore. But we suffered through it.
We then matched the ones that made the taste cut with the
bodegas we felt a connection with, whether because of the family history, amazing price, or just because the people were hip or business savvy. Sadly some great bodegas had to be cut, but what we were left with is amazing. I can't wait to start sharing them with people back home!On Saturday Ashley had to go back to Seattle (sad!), with me staying on for a couple more weeks. For the past two evenings I’ve hung out with an English guy, Robert, I met in Buenos Aires. Since he had an amazing wine pallet, I invited him over for yet another tasting.
Another late night of drinking great wine in Argentina. It’s a hard job, but someone has to do it!
Robert too raved about them and said that they were all wines that he will look for in wine shops. His enthusiasm confirmed the fact that we made the right choice.
Next…negotiating contracts…
