"Lo de Joaquín Alberdi With wine legally decreed Argentina’s national drink, it’s all but a crime to leave without sampling the local tinto . To help decide which bottle to wrap up and take home, head to a tasting at Lo de Joaquín Alberdi in Palermo Soho. At 5 p.m. daily, the vinoteca offers tastings (in Spanish and English) where you’ll learn about the country’s main wine-growing regions. Additional tastings, sponsored by various bodegas, are held each Thursday and Friday. If you can’t make an event, pop in and let the knowledgeable staff help you choose the bottle that best suits your taste. By Travesías"
