Wine, wine, wine and more wine! Mendoza needs no instruction
so we’ll do our best to keep it short. For those expecting Napa, you can forget
it. Mendoza, the city itself, is very urban, and in order to reach the
vineyards you have to travel an hour outside of the city. Luckily for us, we
happened to catch a wine festival in the city that showcased several of the
finest wines of the region. For
two nights straight, we sampled over twelve wineries. Our favorite was a small
company by the name Domados. On
our last day, we headed to Maipu where we visited two vineyards. I can’t recall the name of the first but the other,
was the famous Trapiche. It was a perfect day, bright, sunny and welcoming, and
what better way to spend it than riding our bikes through lush, green vineyards
while sampling local Argentinean wines.
