Top Rated Wine Tasting in Buenos Aires

May 16, 2012 – 11:24 am
It might not yet enjoy the celebrated status of the mighty beefsteak or the tango, but Argentine winemaking is fast winning an international reputation for excellence. And while most travellers follow the Argentine grapevines to the bodegas (vineyards) of the Mendoza wine region in the sunbaked foothills of the Andes Mountains, cool, cosmopolitan Buenos Aires also offers some fabulous new opportunities for creative wine tasting Buenos Aires. According to the trade group Wines of Argentina, Argentine wines are in vogue worldwide. The star varietal is malbec, a red wine made from the malbec grape that is native to Bordeaux but actually thrives better in the high-altitude terrain of Mendoza than anywhere else in the world. A decade after first taking the wine world by storm in the early 2000s, when burgeoning foreign investment sparked a boom in Argentina’s wine exports, malbec is as synonymous with Argentina as zinfandel is with California ...

Where to enjoy the best TANGO en Buenos Aires

May 10, 2012 – 12:39 pm
You can't escape tango in Buenos Aires. It is danced on the trains and in the streets. Restaurants in the bohemian neighborhoods of San Telmo and La Boca try to lure tourists inside with exhibition dancing outside their doors. Taxi drivers play tango music on their radios, and giant billboards promote choreographed tango shows in Buenos Aires. Tango grew from the working class port neighborhoods of Buenos Aires to become a global dance and music phenomenon that in 2009 was inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list. But for those visiting the Argentinean capital for the first time, the sheer number of opportunities to experience tango can be overwhelming, and many of the best venues are off the beaten track. Expat-New Yorker Migdalia Romero is here to help. Here, the author of the "Tango Lover's Guide to Buenos Aires" offers her insights for all aspiring "tangueros" traveling the city: Classical violin with ...

Buenos Aires, a Smart City

May 8, 2012 – 7:28 pm
The Argentinian capital isn’t ranked as one of the world’s most advanced cities. But recent projects show it’s working hard and offering a path for other cash-strapped cities to still become smarter. I recently moved to Buenos Aires to launch an accelerator program for sustainable and smart city ventures with the University of San Andres (UdeSA). While Buenos Aires may come to mind as one of the great cosmopolitan cities in Latin America, with great tango, wine, and beef (I know it is a sin here in Argentina, but I don’t actually eat beef so I can’t confirm the quality), it does not usually get included in discussions of emerging smart cities. In fact, in my global ranking of smart cities published earlier this year, Buenos Aires did not make the first cut. However, I believe Buenos Aires is well on its way to becoming a smart city. For me, no city ...
