Mendoza Clips

In publishing, it seems that obsessions--or at least article subjects--come in waves. Buenos Aires was hugely popular a year to 18 months ago; Michigan's Leelanau Peninsula enjoyed a short, weird moment in the NYT sun; and "France on the cheap" articles pop up, as if by law, every spring. On such a recent streak, I've been spending a bunch of time in Mendoza which is, deservedly I think, getting attention as an international wine center. Instead of blabbering on about it, though, I'll let my two recent articles speak for themselves. Here's one from Fortune Small Business on Americans getting into the wine business there, and here's one from Food & Wine about the increasingly sophisticated offerings in the once very provincial capital. Buen provecho, yo.
