Hard to imagine how we could front up for yet another wine visit this morning but all but three were on board at 9.45!!! Today we went to Bodegas Catena Zapata - a winery built in the style of a mayan pyramid. It is a huge concern, with wineries in several different locations including the highest grape growing area in Mendoza. The views of the Andes were absolutely beautiful. Tatiana met us with a glass of bubbly then escorted us around the building offering different tastings in about 4 different rooms. I think over the 5 hours we were there we tasted 13 different wines, some made for export and others made for the domestic market. The Catena family (of Italian origins) are one of the most powerful influences within the Argentinian Wine Trade.
Lunch was served and, once again, it was amazing. Entree of freshly sliced tomatoes, basil oil and a creme fraiche followed by ribeye with chimichurri, potato mosaic and grilled vegetables then pavlova with berries, passionfruit and honey syrup!
So, for dinner tonight, it's nothing!!!!!
