    A barging holiday through Burgundy tasting the top wines and I mean top wines of the region. Prices are not for the faint hearted, but I have never tasted wines of this Calibre for six days in a row ever.

    This is a wine shop in the Jardins/Bellavista Area in the centre of San Paulo. Incredible selection of world wines and excellent advise in English for restaurants in the city. Great place.

    Unique Hotel

    Posted by charlessmithson 4 August 2009

    Probably the most incredible hotel I have ever stayed in. The design and attention to detail was inpeccable. The Skye bar on the roof had the most amazing cocktails and Sushi and is full of the beautiful 'Paulistas'.

    Robertson wine tours

    Posted by charlessmithson 4 August 2009

    This company specializes in touring the wine regions of South America, but they seem to focus on Argentina and Chile. Very professional from the start. Not the cheapest, but if you want a serious insight into the Terroirs and industry I am sure you will find no better.

    The only fully sustainable hostel/hotel in Uruguay in the centre of the old city.
    Wonderful service and great contacts for the surrounding areas around the city. Great location and a lovely breakfast. US$20 a night. Very recommendable.

    Robertson wine tours

    Posted by charlessmithson 8 November 2008

    I contacted this expatriate Tim Robertson to organise some tastings of Argentine wines while in Buenos Aires.

    They have seriously knowledgeable tour guides for sightseeing and the three tastings they arranged for me at different venues were superb. Great service, totally reliable and extremely knowledgeable. I cannot recommend their service enough!
