Argentina

During this most recent trip to South America, Zane "cowboys up" for his travels to Argentina, which offers numerous opportunities to enjoy sunny beaches and the possibility to watch a wide variety of native wildlife. None of which is important to Zane, as he is there for the booze. During his time as a Gaucho, Zane samples the local cuisine, learns that biking and drinking do not mix and rides off into the sunset on a horse named Steve (no lie). From the beautiful European inspired plazas in Buenos Aries to the beautiful wine country of Mendoza, no stone is left unturned and no drink is left undrunk. Will Zane be able to cure his hangover with mass quantities of grilled beef? Find out, when he goes Three Sheets to Argentina.   

Buenos Aires is called the "Paris of South America," an apt nickname when you consider its charming mix of tree-lined streets, high-fashion and rich history. And like the French, Argentineans are known for their ability to produce great wine. Since 1992 Argentina has invested over 650 million dollars to modernize their wine industry. They are an important wine producer, rated fifth in the world, with the annual per capita consumption of wine amongst the highest in the world. Known for their Malbec wines that grow in Province of Mendoza, Argentina is an ideal environment to successfully develop the grape and turn it into the world's best.
