Mendoza

Wine country. That's about the only reason to come here. Mendoza is a smallish city in the mid-Western bit of Argentina, in a very arid region that is great for producing Malbec, an Argentine specialty. The wines here are great, the city is nothing special. I went on a wine tour yesterday that was lovely and tomorrow I'm off to a three day hike in the nearby mountains (about 4000m or so).
