Wine, whine, wine…
Saturday, April 19th, 2008Mendoza…the heart of the Argentinian wine region. Okay, I just made that up, but it sounded kind of good, huh? And I’m sure it’s mentioned in some kind of marketing scheme somewhere…
But really, this is where they have like a gazillion different wines. We actually met this couple from Mercer Island at this wine tasting which was just bizarre…anyway, it was just a nice place after that hellish bus ride to hang out, drink wine, do a little shopping…it’s kind of cool because they have a bunch of different wines because a lot of them are small so they never make it out of the region…and we tried their Syrah which is totally different than the Australian ones we’re used to.
It’s kind of funny because we go to the wine region, and don’t take a wine tour. We have been to wine tours before. And they’re kind of lame. And the ones that did sound kind of cool were like $150 USD. C’mon, that’s just crazy-talk. So we decided to just spend the money that we would have spent on the wine tour on more wine. I mean, when you can buy 3 bottles of wine for the cost of 1 of us on a wine tour…
Unfortunately for us, we couldn’t send any of it home without going through a bunch of hoops because of Washington State’s lame liquor law. I guess that just means we have to come back to Argentina…
