Mostly wine related, perhaps a review of one or more wines, or a wine tasting. Sometimes other beverages as well – spirits, or even non-alcohol drinks, if you can believe that!
Atlantic Ocean – Way… up high… Yes, winging my way back the the U.S. for a short visit. Since Henry is stuck in Peru for a couple of weeks, it seemed like a good time to visit with friends and family for a bit. There’s not a whole to say about the food on an… Read More Somewhere…. Over the…
Buenos Aires – Back home and just out for a wander – not too far from home as it’s a rather brisk day and Mom Nature is threatening rain. Spotted an interesting looking spot on a corner. Érin is a decent sized duplex “resto-bar” at French 2929, corner of Bollini, in Palermo. It has a… Read More Design and Delicious
Buenos Aires – Having missed my annual 4th of July picnic, and Monday having been Labor Day, and once again having missed my picnic, I decided on an en casa picnic. Plus, I’d promised my friend Michael that one of these days I’d make him some fried chicken – something impossible to find here. Pollo… Read More Day of Labor
Buenos Aires – August is over. That’s amazing. This year and my travel adventures are passing so quickly. Finished off the month by ordering in a pizza and popping a tasting of BarbaRoja’s artesanal beers. I’m going to repeat the reviews of the two I’d tried in the past just so that all of them… Read More Redbeard

I’m still not up on all my local names for fish, so I tend to pick by looks alone. There were these beautiful long filets of… Read More Shark!

First and foremost, if you’d have asked me not too long ago, I would have told you it tastes like badly brewed insipid green tea. Second, it’s a complicated topic here in Argentina… Read More A Bunch of Dried Leaves
Buenos Aires – How did he manage to spend two months already in the capitol of Argentina and not write about tango? I know, I know, I’ve heard it. Come on, I’ve at least mentioned it once, maybe even twice. Well, I’ll get back to it in a minute. Yesterday was Maureen’s last full day… Read More Tango!
Montevideo – After our two winery visits Daniel took us on a whirlwind tour of Montevideo. Whirlwind was a harbinger of things to come, as I’ll get to in a moment. The city is quite fascinating, and had it not been rainy, cold, and windy, we’d have probably enjoyed an indepth tour. The city ranges… Read More Cyclone!
