Mendoza Wine Country
Our last full day in Mendoza was another spectacular day. The morning view from the rooftop of our villa.
Our first stop this morning was Achaval-Ferrer, a short 15 minute drive.
And then to Bodega Casarena.
And then to lunch at MUN Casarena, a fabulous Asian-Argentinian fusion restaurant and one of Mendoza/Lujan de Cuyo's hot new restaurants.

Today's menu.
Starting with The Mendoza Salad paired with Casarena's 505 Sauvignon Blanc 2012.
And wonderful orange honey-mustard dressing.
Chilean Salmon Nigiri & Yellowtail Tuna on Crispy Rice, paired with
Casarena's Rama Negra Reserva Pinot Noir 2011.
The chef rejected the pork today so no Mun-style Dim Sum Pork Buns, but a very nice substitution, paired with a lovely Rosé.
And, OMG, the most amazing Korean Style Rib-eye and Organic Micro Greens, paired with Casarena's Rama Negra Reserva Malbec 2011.
And to finish today's culinary orgy, a delicious Melon Panna Cotta with Strawberry Coulis & Cocoa Tuiles, paired with Casarena's Rama Negra Extra Brut.
No mas! Time to head home for nap.
And one last dinner at wonderful Cavas Wine Lodge.
Clear skies and more great views tonight.
And a special dessert for our friend's B-Day.
And back to our villa before our 4AM wake-up call. OMG!
