Periodically, as part of our After-class cultural activities at La Montaña, Rafael brings important information and good wines to taste.
Last Friday, we enjoyed MALBEC, while we learned about Argentine Winery and this is what we found out:
Argentine Strongest wine is Cabernet Sauvignon and the lightest: Pinot Noir
The area where the grape is grown will make the difference: Salta: stronger wines, Mendoza: medium wines, Patagonia: lighter wines
The specialty in Patagonia are: Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot, Noir Merlot
Labels: According to Argentine regulations, what you read in the front label must agree 100% with the wine facts, while what is written in the back label might not be 100% objective information.
"Reserva" means the wine has passed some time in oak tanks
"Roble" means some chipped oak from used tanks has been added to the wine.
Stick around us! You will be happily surprised with our cultural activities while learning about our culture and practice Spanish!

Potluck is one of our favorite activities. It is a great chance to speak, practice Spanish and learn more from each other.
For Potlucks, we usually ask our students to bring something to eat and share with other students. This meal should be meaningful for their culture or family and explain (in Spanish, of course!!!) why they have chosen this certain food. It doesn´t mean each student will bring enough to feed the whole group. Just enough amount so that each person can at least taste it. As ancient tribes, sharing food and stories together helps building a strong sense of community on which tolerance and joy for sharing is based.
Since sometimes it is difficult to find the correct ingredients, some of our students can also choose to buy or prepare some preferred argentine meal.
Preferably taking place on Fridays, this after-class activity is also a great time for a farewell for those students who have finished their Spanish Program.
Don´t miss your chance to share and enjoy with us next time we have a Potluck at school!
