Journalist + sommelier / Argentina + Latin America
(Turkish Airline’s inflight magazine) Where can you spend the morning browsing leather boutiques on South America’s most exclusive shopping avenue, catch a nail-biting polo match in the afternoon, and then devour a succulent rib-eye at a top steakhouse before relaxing in a stunning Belle Époque mansion? It could only be my city, Buenos Aires. Currently flying […]

(The Independent) When Ana Roš is ensconced at her summer house tucked away in the Julian Alps in Slovenia, she’s usually on holiday, but this year the Slovenian chef – who appeared in season two of Netflix’s Chef’s Table – is using down time away from the burners to pen her first book. Roš whose fine-dining restaurant Hiša Franko made its debut in […]
(Selector) As we survey María del Carmen Toro’s fertile coffee, banana and avocado farm, the sun has started to lower and mist is slowly gathering in the valley. “The conflict was intense here,” she recalls. “Bombs went off all the time and ‘they’d’ come here at 1am, demanding we prepare them food.” The ‘they’ to […]
En Madrid le han dado el apodo ‘ponzaning’. Pero en Bilbao, alcanza con decir que salimos a comer pintxos, disfrutar de tapas acompañadas por copas refrescantes del blanco local Txakoli. Más allá de eso, los vascos guardan un secreto gastronómico adicional: el txoko. No es un circuito, al contrario, el txoko es un club privado parecido […]
(The Points Guy) The longest nation on the planet, Chile stretches for some 2,650 miles, bordered by both imposing mountain ranges and the lapping waters of the Pacific Ocean. As a result, Chile’s diverse landscapes form some of the world’s most spectacular scenery — and the South American country has become a bucket list destination […]
(N by Norwegian) Scarlet and mustard peaks, impossibly blue skies: the wine region of Jujuy may be small, but it has some of the highest – and most stunning – vineyards in the world. At more than 2,300 metres above sea level (masl), the area certainly leaves you breathless but my overriding memories of a recent trip […]
(Atlas of the Future) Drawing from their backgrounds in fashion, advertising, the entertainment industries and social organisations (or NGOs), in 2011 four dynamic Paraguayan entrepreneurs cooked up Koga, a social business focused on growing and supporting the development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in their home country. With the aim of incubating initiatives and projects that could create a social […]
(The Points Guy) Argentina has been considered a relatively inexpensive destination for visitors since 2001, when the South American country’s economy collapsed. Seventeen years later, it’s better value than ever. In May, the Argentine peso plunged to 24.99 per US dollar, making it “the worst [currency] in emerging markets,” according to Bloomberg. While this potentially spells […]
(The World’s 50 Best blog) When Germán Martitegui plans a pop-up, it’s no ordinary one-nighter helmed by a couple of his chefs. Instead, he goes 180º – and then some. Closing his restaurant in Buenos Aires for an unprecedented six weeks from 24th February, Martitegui has transferred his entire 24-strong team to SuperUco winery in Uco Valley, Mendoza, […]
