Clubbing in Buenos Aires

15 Sep

This past weekend I went to Club Groove with some friends and I was shocked at the service compared to other clubs in Buenos Aires and the clubs back in the States. Groove is located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and plays a variety of club music. Smirnoff was throwing an event there this past Friday so a group of us decided to check it out. We bought a table and a few bottles, but we did not feel like we made a good purchase.

I am use to service in the States where if a customer buys a table and bottles then the club is motivated to please the customer and milk some more money out of them. Here at Groove this was not the case. Early in the day we informed the club that it would be a group of ten in our party and notified them about seating we would need to accommodate our group. When we got to Groove there were not enough seats and we had to bring mixers and the bottles over to the table ourselves. We were not waited on in any way and I expected more after paying the amount we did.

The club was fun and I had a good time, but I think our money could have been spent in a better way. I help a wine tasting company and we host some of the best wine tastings in Buenos Aires and I think our wine tastings are the best because of our service. Argentina has some of the most amazing wine tastings and I recommend people to spend their money on a nice wine tasting rather than bad service at a club. I think the wine tasting is a more personal experience and there are more memories to be had while sharing good wine with friends and family.

How to Get Sustainable Coffee That is Good for the Earth!

26 Jul

Not all coffee is good for the earth and a lot of it is treated with harmful chemicals and pesticides before being sold in stores. If you consider buy coffee online you can actually get different types of coffee that are economically responsible and chemical free. These are coffees that aren’t available in local grocery stores and they are less expensive if purchased over the Internet. Coffee like this is organic, so it’s not sprayed with any chemicals or pesticides. It’s made from small batches so you get the best taste possible. Although you are going to pay a higher cost for this coffee than you would for a name brand at the grocery store, the taste and health benefits are well worth it. Just try it out to see how much you like it and chances are you will never go back! They will even ship right to your door since you’re already buying something that is fairly traded and organically responsible.

Bloody Mary Offers Socially Acceptable Midday Drinking

18 Jul

In a society which is both obsessed with etiquette and concerned about increasing “binge drinking” trends, it has become a huge faux pas to drink alcohol during the day. However, everyone seems more than willing to make an exception for the bloody mary, which is most often seen served up with Sunday brunch at bars and restaurants across America.

Brunch Cocktails

It is unclear exactly why there is such an exception made but the fact remains that one of the few times it is socially acceptable to consume alcohol before noon is when eating brunch. There are a selection of common brunch cocktails including Mimosas, Bellini and of course the Bloody Mary.

The Morning After The Night Before

It has become especially commonplace to see a Bloody Mary served as standard with Sunday brunch. There are a number of reasons why it has become a Sunday morning tradition, not least of which is the belief that the Bloody Mary is a great hangover remedy id you have over indulged on a Saturday night. While your body breaks down the new shot of alcohol, it ignores the older alcohol which is making you feel bad. The tomato juice and celery also provide much needed vitamin C while the spice will give you a little jolt.

Hook and Ladder Vineyards

03 Apr

Hook and Ladder Vineyards has one of the most extensive histories in Sonoma or Napa Valley wine despite only being opened in 2003. A great red wine club gift choice because of its quality level Hook and Ladder is the most recent winery project by the De Loach family. The family patriarch Cecil was a firefighter in San Francisco and made wines under a label of his own from 1975 until the family sold the brand in 2003. They took some of the proceeds and started Hook and Ladder Winery, now largely run by second and third generation family members including grandson Jason, who is the current winemaker. About thirty thousand cases of wine are produced each and every year, much of it moderately priced considering the quality level attained. A good portion of the wines have achieved scores at or above 90 points according to significant wine critics such as Robert Parker.
