The Vines
After sip n cycling our way around the Maipu valley we decided to head to a recommended wine bar http://www.vinesofmendoza.com/ to taste some more of the wines from this region. We did a 5 wine ¨flight" and the guy that gave the tasting used to own a wine shop in town so was a real wealth of knowledge not just on the wines but also Argentinian culture.
We returned the next night with a lovely couple we met at our hostel as they had a winemaker from a local Bodega giving a talk on the wine making process and of course we got to taste some more wine. It was a really informative discussion and we feel very educated on wine at this point.
Continuing our shopping streak in Mendoze, so Argentina is well known for it´s quality (and cheap) leather, and Heather managed to squeeze a leather jacket into her backpack (somehow?)... while I opted for a pair of trendy jeans, as denim is also rather inexpensive. Good thing we have only 1 more overnight bus ride as our backpacks are starting to get a bit porky.
