Mendoza Fabulous Finds & Helpful Hints: Private Tasting

Huentala Hotel Boutique hotel. I would highly recommend this to anyone planning a visit to Mendoza. It was right in the heart of town. 
Private Wine Tasting.  Whether you stay at Huentala or not don’t miss the opportunity to for a private wine tasting for about $30 a person. Initially, we signed up thinking that we would be with a group for about 1 hour – what we got was so much more.  The hotel opens its underground bar only for wine tastings and private events, so when we arrived we found that only the two of us plus the sommelier was present.  For four hours we sipped on wine, ate cheese and chatted about wine, politics and more. 
If you’re interested in Malbec and want a good quality bottle look for wines from the region in the 1999 and 2005.
