As the world collapsed financially in Sept. 2008, we spent dos semanas in Argentina and Chile. The resulting “trip report” was posted at: http://www.burdell.com/dave/Chile-Argentina-Report.htm While some of the info is dated, you and others may find the bulk of it helpful. Fascinating countries and exceptional wine.

Sounds like a great trip. I really enjoyed my visit to Argentina a few years ago.
Malbec from Argentina is fantastic, but without diversification, Argentina could become another Australia (All Shiraz, all the time, in the minds of the average consumer).
I love the Chardonnays, Sauvignon Blancs, Viogniers, and blends.
Still not totally sold on Torrontes, it’s often too flabby. Seems like it can’t decide between being fruity or being crisp.
Love the menu…no beef? My trip was to wine country, so all we ate was beef, lamb and goat, all the time.

cheers!
