Mendoza, Our New Home

On March 1st, our alarm went off at 4:15am. We, sleepily, got everything together and Vicky and Sebastian drove us to the airport. Our flight departed at 7:10am, and we landed in Buenos Aires two hours later. With four hours until our next flight, we decided to walk outside a little. It was slightly sprinkling, but we strolled along the river's edge. It was so big and vast, we first thought it was the ocean.


We walked for awhile and stood near the runway watching planes take off and land.

Eventually we went back inside, shared a pizza for lunch and around 1:30pm, boarded our plane. These were some of the views looking down on BA.





Landed in Mendoza where we were picked up by a cab driver that Viña Cobos sent. He drove us 30 minutes from the city to our new home for the next two months.

We met two other interns, Evan and Hannah, both Californians. The place is small but cozy. We have a nice outdoor area and a pool that we share with the landlords. Check out the view.


We went to the local grocery store and made dinner.

One of Hannah's friends invited us to what we thought would be a casual tasting with other interns. We brought a few grocery store bottle of wine and cheese, crackers and questionable salami. When we arrived, it turned out to be an industry tasting with winemakers, managers and PR representatives. Let's just say our wine, nor the salami, were people's favorites. We did meet lots of interesting people. One guy who works for a small winery, Pequeña Bodega, which is owned by his family. He was very welcoming and invited us to have an asada (Argentinian BBQ) with him. We definitely hope to visit.
