While in Argentina it was clearly imperative to show some sort of an interest in where all this vino collapso we´ve been drinking is produced. Mendoza has quite a number of vineyards and it seems that Malbec is the pride of most of them. Something to do with the dry soil, sunny climate and range of temperatures in Mendoza makes it easier to grow the grape here than in its birthplace, France. Having snooped around the vines and cellars full of expensive Reserva we sniffed and swilled our way through a couple of the cheaper drops. For some reason the winery people wouldn´t let us near the posh plonk. Bizarre.No matter, after considerable research, we came to the conclusion that wine really is amazing and that the people of Argentina should definitely carry on making it for our continued delectation.
