ARGENTINA ON TWO HOURS OF SLEEP A DAY (SOME RANDOM PICTURES)


Down in sunny Buenos Aires today, getting ready to fly back to cold NYC. Good week here and in Mendoza. There was a lot of wine involved. And fancy chefs. And, above, empanadas.

Polo match at Cheval des Andes, the winery owned by Chateau Cheval Blanc. The Andes are behind the players. The sparkling wine and ladies in sun dresses are behind the camera. Not a bad way to spend the morning.

A private tasting with Laura Catena and her charming winemakers at Catena Zapata in Mendoza

A coffee, some water con gas, old men reading newspapers, taxi blurring by and a book (not shown): Pretty good recipe for how to spend an afternoon.

I spent a month this past summer in Mendoza. Fantastic city. Great food (i.e, empanadas), friendly people, breathtaking Andes mountains, and alcoholic coffee served in church. Loved Argentina, and appreciate your pictures!
