Indeed Cyborg I've tried quite a few other grape varieties and not had a bad experience yet. No expert but I especially like the wines produced in the San Juan area. However as the wife keeps me in check I have to limit my intake....the wine might be smooth but the Argentine women are much tougher to handle.
I'm on a bit of a beer quest at the moment as the micro brewery scene expands....some decent beer to be had here as well.
