Mendoza, Argentina - July 2014

Back in March, 2014, during a meeting (ENVIRO 2014) held at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory, my PhD advisor, Dr. Donald Sparks, who gave a talk at the meeting, and I went out to taste some wines. Following up with the sommelier's choice, we had a Susana Balbo, 2010, by Dominio del Plata winery. This was the trigger for me to book my trip to Mendoza, to drink their outstanding wines the closest I could from the source.

 

Please note: being a soil scientists is so much fun!. Besides doing great science, we have a great taste for the finest wines, too.
