When we arrived at the small quaint Family Zuccardi, we were immediately greeted by a warm reception. We were on a small bus tour that had been to several wineries that morning (yes we were drinking early) and we were stopping here for a lunch.
Food was excellent, heavy meat base, but that us Argentina for you...if you don't like red wine and meat...you should look elsewhere. Ironically I don't eat much red meat, but when in Mendoza, I had to try.
Again, excellent atmosphere, with family friendly staff, food and GREAT wine.
Their wine is dependent on rich soil, extreme weather and high altitude...all making for a unique taste and flavor.
Take the guided tour, drink the free wine (with the tour) and take home a bottle (if you can)....
The best part of Argentina's wines is that the GOOD WINES stay in the country. We (the rest of the world) gets the seconds - which are still excellent--- so when in Mendoza ...take some time to stop at Zuccardi!
