Today I had merienda, or afternoon snack, with my friend Lola at Caffe Tabac, one of the Bares Notables of Buenos Aires. We started at an outside table, because it was a lovely spring day, but the place is on a very busy corner and it was noisy, so we moved inside.

Lola introduced me to a wine she likes called Malbec rosada. It is, of course, made with Malbec grapes but with other varieties as well and the result is a very nice, crisp rosé, perfect for sipping in the sun. I think it might become a favourite in the upcoming summer months. Salud!
