One more late picture. This guy might be in the el bano later... and continues to complain about his shoulder.... love craig
A late picture post by Craig. Our Weinert tour guide and "private" tasting of the till boy John's birth date wine. Buenos Noches all you followers and "creepers"! We are tired and it's well past midnight and we are "Slingboxed" back to the US watching the colllege football game. Yea Husker basketball, we watched the end of their game too after a short stop at the hotel bar checking out some local cocktails.
Outside dining this evening in Mendoza. 4 liters of beer...we were getting tired of vino and it's over 100 degrees here.
A top view of this wonderful plate? RIGHT!
What can I say...these are organ meats. John and I shared a mixed grill for two. Blood sausage, lung, kidneys, tripe and other fine (oh, I had to break to puke) grilled guts! We had to try them...eat your heart out Andrew Zimmerman and Anthoney Bordain...we might start our own Food Network show.
Our driver, Javier Eppents was able to take part in our private tasting of a 1983 wine we purchased in honor of John's birth year. Sorry if you want to try it, we are finishing off the bottle in our hotel room.
"Till boy" Tim is giving a thumbs up to the 1977 Malbec in the cellar. Now that is some old wine. Mike is pointing down to his feet to make sure he keeps one foot in front of the other. At least there is no ice here (yes my shoulder is killing me...the juice helps).
This is an ornamental cask, representing the Winert shield and the wine god. Mike is showing a heisman like wine god pose.
After arrival in Mendoza and checking into 2 hotels (another story you don't need to read) we went to the Weinert Winery. Weinert is one of the top 100 international wineries. An "old school" winery founded in the 1800's. This french oak cask was made in the 70's and will be good for 200 years...that's a long f...ing time! Let's just say that this one cask holds way more wine than us till boys make in one year!

Thanks for posting guys! REALLY, people are reading your blog....they just don't comment...keep it up.
ReplyDeleteFood pics...not my kind of food. Do they serve any vegetables or are you just not ordering those?
I can't believe it, but school is canceled for Wednesday! Kent Schimek says it is the next SIGNIFICANT STORM!
So, thumbs up on the 1977 OLD wine? Not old at all! that's the year I graduated from high school! Love the pics.
ReplyDeleteThe food didn't look good. I had to vomit right after I read and looked at it! You may be hot but I want you to know we are freezing. Zero or lower with 30-40 m.p.h. winds. A large number of people have commented that they saw the video on A.F.V. Keep us informed. Love, Old Couple
ReplyDeleteMy boys agreed that they didn't think the organ meat looked very good to eat. However, it does look like you guys are having quite an adventure! As you have heard, the weather in Nebraska is pretty nasty. We just heard that the boys do not have school again on Thursday. It looks like we will be going to school in June, and maybe even into July at this rate! We are enjoying the pictures and videos.
