Plummeting Peso creating even more value for Argentina visitors?

The Points Guy just published a piece that suggests this is one of the best times to visit Argentina in years.

We are amazed that even since our #MalbecsOnly2018 trip in March, the currency has dropped from 20/1 US Dollar to 24.45 (as of today).

Even with significant Argentinean inflation, that has to be an eye opener.

 

11 Excellent Reasons to Visit Argentina Now

In 2008 on a visit to Buenos Aires, I fell in love with the wines of Argentina and started a blog called MalbecsOnly.

When I returned home to the States, I decided my friends can always pick out a Napa cab, or the French wine, but that when I went shopping I would only buy Argentinean wines.

I figured, focusing on one thing would force me to learn about them. I’m no expert, but I’m an enthusiast, and here I share what I learn.

Argentina has changed, and there is a stunning diversity of wines coming out of the country now, in regions well beyond Mendoza and grapes well beyond Malbec.

So now, our name reflects what this blog really is: a celebration of ALL kinds of Argentine wine. We welcome your comments, lively discussion, and suggestions for story ideas.

Thanks for reading!    -Stephen Curry
