I’m Headed to Uruguay to Explore Tannat

Bodega Garzón, Uruguay

I’m headed to Uruguay tomorrow to taste and learn all about Tannat. I’ve tasted Tannat before, but now I get to explore various soils where it’s grown. For me being in a vineyard puts my mind and my palate. The aspect of having wine with the food of the location is why I always say to people “wine goes with food.” Needless to say I’m stoked. I’m happy to visit Bodega Garzòn, the legendary winery from Francis Mallmann. If you don’t know about Francis Mallmann, I implore you to watch Chef’s Table on Netflix - Season 1, Episode 3 and Wine Enthusiast’s It Stars With Wine - Uruguay on Amazon Prime.

At the time I wrote this blog post, I didn’t realize I would be going to Uruguay. I like to call this speaking it into existence. Follow my travel shenanigans on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
