More Mendoza in the News

An excellent article that appears on FinancialTimes.com was forwarded to me last week. It’s titled “On the roof of the wine-growing world” and it’s a great read that praises Mendoza. The author’s enthusiasm strikes me as that of someone having just discovered the beauty of Mendoza for the first time. Another great article at Todaysfinancialnews.com discusses Mendoza’s draw to the retiree. The Washington Post talks about Argentine wine sales in U.S. restaurants (given our economy, and patrons looking for quality valued wine options) quoting one restaurant owner as saying; "We're selling the hell out of Mendoza". You can read that one here. And finally, it was announced that the world famous Dakar rally will return to Mendoza in 2010. The race will begin and end in Buenos Aires, and although I don’t think the exact route has officially been announced yet, I’ve heard that it will not only navigate through San Rafael once again – but it will go right by our property.
