La Pampa!

La pampa de Argentina, qué bonito!

The last few days, we had an amazing timeat the estancia (ranch) of the uncle and aunt of Joost. Think lots & lotsof space, 2500 cows, almost 40 horses, beautiful sunsets, heavy thunderstorms, gorgeous colours, and lots of other animals: enormous grasshoppers, armadillos, deer, tarantulas, etc.

We walked together with the dogs of the family through the enormous lands, and also: we went horseback-riding! For the true gaucho-feel. Absolutely lovely :)

So many thanks to our hosts, for many nice conversations and their hospitality! We really hope we can return this favour one day !

At the moment, we are inMendoza, Argentina, which isthe wine capital of Argentina. Not bad,right? Yesterday, we tasted our first locally produced Malbec.We can only say, just forget all the Malbecs that you´vetasted in Europe, and do come to Argentina and taste the real stuff. Very rich inflavour and smell,québonito!

Tomorrow we will soak in the hotspings nearby, that contain water that comes directly from the Andes :) And the day after, we will cycle through the region and visit some wine houses.

On Thursday, we will continue to Santiago. Looking forward to all Chile has to offer!

Take care everyone and hasta la pasta!

I was already deeply impressed about the Quatros Elementos story, but it only gets better!!!

I do remember drinking the real Chianti up in the mountains of Firenze, Toscany... I never ever tasted a real Chianti again... I think the wine loses its touch when it's being moved to another place.(or the taste stays in place, and the wine moves... don't know yet...)

Hi gaucho's,

Sounds excellent, good to read you enjoy the wines.

And in Chile, well, they have more wine on offer!

(and fishes as well @ Mercado Central in Santiago)
