Cuisine y Vins 2009

Cuisine and Vin Every year Buenos Aires has a wine event called Cuisine and Vins. This year it was last week and we attended half for pleasure, half for work. This meant of course that we had to go twice to get a full visit of fun out of it AND to get a full visit of work out of it, since we are such responsible young adults (and the free passes helped as well.) For an event called Cuisine and Vin one notice an incredible lack of Cuisine, which seemed to be represented by bread sticks, Olive Oil, a pasta stand and an ice cream stand. Mixed with the 50 different wineries, some of whom had wines that required a LOT of food to clear ones palate, and it was actually slightly a fault. The good wine however (here’s looking at you Dante Robino 2006 Bonarda) was really good; enough to make you wonder what producers of lesser quality wines were thinking putting their booths so close to the others. Eventually I noticed that cup size and amount of skin being displayed by the wine representatives was inversely proportional to the quality of wine that the booth had. As sexist as it is I started to focus my attentions on the stalls manned by balding men over 50, hopefully with a mustache. I actually worked out pretty well.
