The second day of wine tasting took us to a region where the altitude is higher and the soil content different, which allowed for some really delicious wines. It was a little farther out of town, so Miguel picked us up aroud 8 am. Today we only made it to three wineries but spent the day tasting with two guys who also live in San Francisco, Michael and Dorian. We totally hit it off!!!
- Azul - "Small" production - although we did see cases of their wine at a popular restaurant in Palermo, Mott. We got to do a barrel tasting which is always fun.
- Salentein - Nice architecture, supposedly good wines. We really weren't able to taste any because the tour was WAY too long, excruciatingly long AND they didn't even give us the option to taste any of the good wines, so we left in a hurry without buying a bottle. Booh to them!!!
- O. Fournier - Solid and well priced wines. A nice sauvignon blanc, which I found a rarity in Argentina. They had an amazing facility and had used the same architectures as Salentein - but they didn't seem sooo serious. We had lunch with Michael and Dorian which was sooo delicious and a lot of fun. Four courses with wine pairing... Yummy!
