About the blog: Ostensibly, the blog is about wine. But in reality we talk about wine, food, travel, music, society and pretty much anything that pops into our heads. Focus is probably not our strong suit.

Since the U.S. economy is lagging many people are looking for less expensive alternatives and Argentina is becoming well-known for moderately priced, good wines.
