I recently stumbled upon this great wine store run by English sommelier Nigel Tollerman, at one of his regular semi-public tastings, a really fun and social event. They sell over 400 premium and super-premium Argentine wines (the best wines that are almost all exported and nobody else in this town seems to be able to get hold of, he managed to get me some Chacra Pinot Noir from Patagonia and some San Pedro de Yacochuya from Salta, two of my favourites), and he delivers (often within the hour) anywhere in Buenos Aires at no extra charge, with snazzy presentation and friendly service. They also do private tastings in their cellar, and Nigel is a fountain of knowledge.
Anchorena 695, corner Tucumán, in the central Abasto neighbourhood of Buenos Aires. The entrance is discreet.
