It looks like the world of Argentine Polo is alive and well, despite any global economic slowdown, according to a recent Reuters article that you can read here. The article also touches on polo tourism and Argentina’s position as the world's top destination for polo. Our polo fields at Algodon Wine Estates, by the way, should be completely excavated and seeded this year. This photo was taken at a recent cocktail party inside the Algodon Mansion amidst all the construction. There was a huge turnout, and it was quite fun. Nacho Figueras and his wife Delfina Blaquier are pictured here with me. Nacho, of course, is a world famous Argentine Polo player and may be the face that most Americans associate with Argentine Polo. The photo above appeared in the December 20, ’08 issue of the Argentine magazine “Noticias”.
