Mendoza, Argentina

The heart of Argentine wine country is nestled in a valley beneath the snow-capped Andes. Glacial runoff from the mountain range feeds the miles of vineyards that blanket the lowlands. Rudy meets winemakers whose Malbecs are shaking up the world’s wine market. A lunch prepared by gauchos in the middle of a vineyard is a reminder that cowboy life is very much alive in this stunning region.
