Out of curiosity: anyone have any wine blogs/sites (in English) about Argentine wines that you enjoy reading?

I bought the NHL Gamecenter subscription at the beginning of the season, but haven't been using it since the Bruins lost. If anyone is interested in paying me a reasonable fee, I'll give you my username and pw and you can use it for the rest of the playoffs. You get all the games and it's really...

I don't know what count as super premium wines, but we seemed to be tasting one top of the line option at each of the vineyards we visited (it seemed to break down into one lower-tier wine, two middle tier and one top tier).

Reporting back in case it's helpful. We did a tour with Ampora Wine Tours and it was absolutely fantastic (and I'm not usually a person to rave about tours). We signed up for a group tour, but got lucky, and it was only the two of us. I wrote about it on our blog, for anyone who's interested...

Thanks. Carrefour did seem a little less expensive to me, but I wasn't sure if I was making it up. And I could never figure out the logic for when we do/don't get coupons.

I live near Plaza Italia and most of the time when I go to the Disco at Paraguay and Armenia, the line reaches toward the end of the aisles and it takes 30+ minutes to checkout. At the Carrefour a few blocks away at Scalabrini and Soler, there's hardly ever a line. Aside from the produce being...

Sorry but anyone know about this? Trying to figure out whether computers are a viable entertainment option for a long bus ride.

Do the buses (Andesmar and Cata) have outlets?

Oops you're right. The looked at the date on the article, saw Saturday, and thought it was today. But I don't object to wine recommendations, even if it's not a holiday.

Thanks. I figured Tuesday was a lost cause it being Labor Day, but I wasn't sure about Monday.

Today is apparently World Malbec Day (who decides these things?). http://en.mercopress.com/2012/04/28/forty-countries-worldwide-celebrated-malbec-day-argentina-s-emblematic-grape-and-wine In it's honor, I would love to hear recommendations of anyone's favorite Malbecs. Let's say: Favorite...

I know Tuesday is, but what about Monday? Will banks and things be open?

Thanks. I've been skiing since I was 3, and my boyfriend is an intermediate skier, so looking for something to keep up both entertained.

What's Las Leñas like? I've heard varying things about how difficult/interesting the terrain is. I skied at Portillo in Chile a few years back, and loved it, but wondering if it's worth discovering a new mountain.

Good to know. Any chance you have a Medicus dentist you like?

I have yet to use mine, and am kind of intimidated by the process. Can anyone with Medicus tell me a little what the process has been like for them? If I just go to the hospital and go to the dental floor and tell them in mediocre Spanish that I would like a cleaning, will that work? Will I get...

Thanks. They changed the front door locks right away. We were thinking of asking the landlord to install a second stronger lock on our door.

Thanks. We're just renting the apartment for a few months, so I'm not sure installing a security system is really an option. Just wondering if there's any obvious things to do (leave lights on, get home insurance) that are relatively low cost but still effective.

I've never seen a direct flight from BOS to BA. NYC is another option (one of the airlines just started a direct BA-NYC flight, and a bunch of them already do it).

Thanks. Is there any downside to booking online with plataforma10 as opposed to going in person?
