Totally agree, and the opposite attitude, those who think the neighbor's grass is always greener is at least as stupid as the former
Very informative thanks. These prettys are very useful in the modern life.
Apparently this powerful country also explode 1030 nukes bombs in its own national land just for testing and more two under war.

Yes, Senna was very Brazilian and proud of it. I remember the emotion on the podium after he won the Brazilian GP with a broken gear box. The memory of Senna just went hand in hand with the memory of Maradona. I wrote it as I thought it.
I agree, however, the purpose of this thread is, under the pretext of having an Argentinian Pope, half jokingly, brag about some things that make us proud to be Argentines.
The positive side is the cultural exchange that allows us to know each other a little more, away from regular technical discussions.
It's hard not to hurt feelings, is a delicate balance, I believe that with the help and understanding of the moderators, slowly we are getting there.
Take for example the case of an Argentine who lives abroad, and on top of a hill overlooks the city where he lives.
A passing villager, asks
- What are you doing ?
To which, the Argentine answer
- I'm looking at, as the city is without me...

You Argentinians also grow some really good vines and some of your better wines are superb, but difficult to buy locally here in Scotland.
Apparently you have trouble with non-violation of a No1 rule of this forum, and favor getting your hiney kicked out pronto.
Just saying.
Everyone knows the Gordita came first. (with big Piloncillos)

We get a number of very good Argentinian wines here, the very first Tempranillo I ever tried came from Argentina. (Tasty stuff 😀 )
I mean this
For the branch of my father, my grandfather was from Köln, and my grandmother from Freising.
For the branch of my mother, my grandfather was from Austrian Tyrol, and my grandmother was Argentine.
So, my blood is 25% Argentinian. 😀
I'm 100% Hick, but I dig-big Jewish girls with fat eyebrows.

The 'nt' was because I tried to respond to a post without quoting and then found out that I completely missed an entire page. Hence the 'too late' reason for editing. Silly me…
As for bloodlines on my fathers side it's friesian and on my mothers saxon (her grandparents came from Saxon-Anhalt, the area around Magdeburg).
Altogether 100% german. Bit boring really.
I have a strict policy against that. Married three shiksas.
Spent a lot of time at wineries in Mendoza. Have yet to find an Argentinian wine that I'd buy. Very industrial, woody and alcoholic, anonymous-tasting. The specialty seems to be Malbec, but it's tough to distinguish it from their Cabernets.
Don't know if you can get it in your neck of the woods but Quinta Ferreira 2009 Syrah, has proven popular with the judges.
Agree, though I have had a few privately imported Chilean reds which were much better than drinkable. Don't worry about SY's put down of Argentinian wine........He is after all very knowledgeable in that area too. BTW SY very smart Tux!!

😀
No problem, now I can understand. 😉
Nice mixture. 🙂
This is a small world.
Sniffing in my family tree, I found a couple of Jewish ancestry, seriously.
I don't know much about wine, but the next time you come, I will not forgive you if you don't come to visit me.
BTW. Forget about kosher food, just "asado" and "empanadas" 😀
Yes, very international style. Judges like that. 😀
Asado is wasted on me; Argentina was the one place where not only could I not find decent vegetarian cuisine, there was actual hostility toward the notion.
