Mendoza wine tour
Mendoza produces around 70% of Argentine wine. Took a local bus to the suburb of Mendoza where the wineries are located.
Met 2 other asians (Dan and Davy) on the street and surprisingly they are from New York too. Haven’t seen a lot of asians so far and we went to rent a bike at Mr. Hugo ($25 argentine pesos,around $7) for the day and biked for around 18km.
We stopped by 3 wineries, did a little wine tour and tasting. Dan which is a wine enthusiast mentioned that argentine wine for the same price (15-80pesos, $4-$20) is in better quality over the french and grabbed a few bottles back.
