  • I want to B-A part of B-A, Buenos Aires, Big Apple

    Read this article recently – Creative wine tasting in Buenos Aires? Sounds very enticing….perhaps my next trip will be to Buenos Aires to test out their approach to building a walkable wine route in the city… Because, honestly – the only bad part about visiting most wineries is having to drive in between!
