I'm in Argentina right now. Feeling more than
a bit
spacey due either to the fantastic Andean air
or the 20 some hour travel to get
here.
I'm entranced already and looking
forward to some fantastic wines including the
ones I tasted to today at Finca Decero (a
beautiful winery by the way) with a small
selection from neighboring Lujan de Cuyo
producers Ruca Malen and ReNancer
The days look busy ahead, so I will have lots
to report in upcoming pieces.
But for now
sleep seems to be murmuring my name...
