I have to chime in to also recommend ArgEnology. Alex has been my preferred wine merchant in Buenos Aires for the last six or seven years. At this point he already knows what I like, my quirks, and sometimes even remembers certain bottles in my cellar better than myself - well, now I have a cellar tracker app!

nxlinc, if you have the chance, let Alex do the ‘packing’ for you next time. I started just like you, ‘smuggling’ a few bottles in my baggage, until I realised it was better, and I could transport more (!) if packed properly. He has specialty styrofoam boxes that can even withstand the TSA - a weird mileage run had me once connecting via the US and the boys in blue took an interest in the contents of the box, repacking it afterwards with TSA tape - and I have re-used them when moving as well.

Alex has organised tastings for myself and my family sometimes with almost no notice and always delivering top notch quality. Being from Argentina myself I’m always on the lookout for boutique and ‘cult’ wines, which I favour, since it’s really easy these days to find any of the big players abroad.

So again, if you happen to be in EZE and want wines from the ‘right’ side of the Andes, check Alex at Argenology
