Argentina: Chef Sebastián Weigandt’s Favourite Haunts in Mendoza
"I love going to VinoBien to try its wines, and I particularly recommend the tiradito of trout with a lemon reduction to accompany a glass of white wine from Viña Cobos, such as Felino Chardonnay; recognised in the Best of Mendoza’s Wine Tourism 2023 awards and run by sommelier Rodrigo Kohn, this vinoteca is one of the few offering labels from Mendoza as well as from across Argentina—including Patagonia, the Atlantic coast, and the Calchaquíes valley—and it’s worth booking a spot in the new underground cellar to taste some of the country’s best." - The MICHELIN Guide
What a great wine bar! Great range by the glass and by the bottle, and great service and knowledge not just of Mendoza wines but across all of Argentina. Mucho gracias Rodrigo!

Rodrigo was friendly, interesting and knowledgeable! We tried the wine tasting (4) plus a bottle of Cabernet Franc, and took a Syrah to go! The cheese and meat small plates were artistic and delicious, and the pumpkin dessert was the perfect ending to the evening.

Wow…. Best attentive service and real wine knowledge I’ve experienced in over a week in Mendoza. Miss this wine bar, small plate watery at your peril. Garcia Rodrigo and team!
