Malbec & Buenos Aires Restaurants

Two articles that I recently stumbled across are worth pointing out. Once again we see praise for Mendoza and its signature grape, Malbec. The first piece comes from the Guardian.co.uk - it’s more of an editorial- titled Argentina is giving malbec a good name. The other appeared in the Chicago Tribune, and is titled Malbec’s star turn.

In another article from the not too distant past, The Washington Post did a feature on an American expat now living in Buenos Aries, Layne Mosler. She’s a freelance food writer and columnist for South American Explorer and a regular contributor to Time Out Buenos Aires. Here’s her unique angle: She’ll hop in a Buenos Aires cab, ask the driver to drop her off at his (the driver’s) favorite restaurant, and then she’ll eat there and write a review of it. She considers this the best way to learn about all of the hidden, great places to eat in the Argentine capital. If you’re visiting Buenos Aries and looking for an insider’s scoop on where to eat, check out her blog at www.taxigourmet.com. It’s very interesting.
