Creator's Key Takeaways
This was such a great experience. The food was great, the company was fantastic, and the wine just kept flowing.
This was the best wine tasting we've ever been on, but I think it was because of our friends, Tim and Kathy.
Mendoza is just such a walkable town, and it's just so beautiful.
The best wine here is the cabernet franc, El Enemigo, but it's not El Enemigo, it's your amigo.
