An Insiders Guide to the Wines and Wine Country of Argentina

“Nobody knows more about the Argentinian wine business than Laura Catena (except maybe her father, Nicolás). Laura´s new book will certainly be the bible in this subject.”
Baron Eric de Rothschild, Château Lafite

In this book—part wine primer, part cultural exploration, part introduction to the Argentine lifestyle—discover where to eat, what to see, and how to fit in with Laura Catena, the Argentina-born, United States-educated, globetrotting wine star. The world’s fifth largest producer of wine, Argentina is home to malbec, the country’s best-known indigenous grape and the fastest growing wine import into the United States.

More than 400,000 Americans visit Argentina every year to experience the mighty malbec, taste unparalleled grass-fed beef, trek the wide-open country, and tango all night long in Buenos Aires, “the Paris of South America.” These visitors travel with Laura in Vino Argentino, the only travel journal that provides insider access to the unique wine regions, wineries, shops, bars, galleries and restaurants of vast, beautiful Argentina.

“Vino Argentino will make you want to buy a plane ticket to Argentina, or at least open a bottle of Malbec.”
Wine Spectator
“A well-written -if necessarily partisan – introduction to the Argentinian Lifestyle.”
Decanter
“Vino Argentino is not an encyclopedic reference but a mouthwatering introduction to the wines and culture of Argentina.”
The Washington Post
“Laura Catena uncorks Argentina.”
The New York Times
“There is something lyrical and renegade embedded in the Argentine soul, not to mention a breezy self-regard that Catena says is the key to what makes Argentina arguably the most exciting wine country on earth right now…”
Mark Rozzo, The New York Times
“It’s a valuable resource for the malbec lovers traveling to the source.”
Wine&Spirits
“A look into the personalities, cuisines, and various wines and terroirs.”
