Sumptuous Lunch at Andeluna
Skipping the tour and tasting, we gather round a tale with the most magnificent view of snow capped volcanoes over the vineyards. Snowy white shirted waiters uand black uniformed chefs ( in an area not much bigger than my dining room) produce the most beautiful plates of delectable food to go with their wines. 6 courses, 6 wines. Our tour operator (an Irish emigre!) Charlie declares this to have been voted the best restaurant in western Argentina. Maybe...
The courses include amuse bouches as well as nice small portions, til you come to the beef filet, huge! They favor salt crusts here and I had to exchange my beef with our guide for the rare one, perfect. My only beef!! I had the nerve to ask “para llegar” (takeaway) the other half of my beef - which we enjoyed immensely next day with salad on our hotel room balcony.
After photographs in the garden, we head back to town with full heads, stomachs and beautiful photos of this memorable valley.
