The overcast sky that hung over the high Andies didn´t bode well for the weather while we were in Mendoza, but luckily that couldn´t stop us from enjoying the city and the wine. 
Many of the wine cellars (¨Bodegas¨ in Spanish) were built near the turn of the last century and had wonderful atmosphere,
Beautiful architecture,
Original tiled floors,
and lovely flora.
Oh, and did I mention the tastey wine?
One winary fed their grape castings to goats who in turn made cheese. (Now that´s what I call recycling!)
We also went to an artisanal olive oil factory, meaning they don´t add preservatives and produce extremely flavorful oils, including one unfiltered variety.
The city itself had lively street life, lots of cafes, restaurants,...
and imperial looking fountains.
