Hi Sonia,
Thanks for responding to my mail.
No, I have not visited Argentina or Mendoza.
I do intend visiting Argentina & Chile soon - as I have enjoyed some of their wines.
Regards,
Dan
PS. Your estate & cellars look stunning - surrounded by mountains - just like Franschhoek in South Africa

I am a South African living near Bordeaux & in the Seychelles.
