Mendosa

22nd March
We got up from our hostel that we have all to ourselves after a plesent lie in.
Then a bus to the surrounding countryside to go wine tasting.
Mendosa is the heart of the Argentine wine industry.
Wineries here are called bodagas.
We got tours in 3 of them, which gave us a good idea as to the procces, then tasting at the end.
Argentina only exports a fraction of their wine, maybe 10% and have only been doing this for the last 20 years or so.
Wine is quite cheap,
2 pesos basic "common" bottle
4 pesos decent bottle
5 pesos really good bottle on offer
8 pesos table wine in a fancy resteraunt
15 pesos fancy wine in a winery

1 euro = 3.74527 Argentina Pesos.
