Having claimed the holy grail of tango shoes, i wanted to celebrate. Concierge recommended Gualterio Bolivar as a wine bar - they're not....Chef Alejandro Digilio has done time at El Bulli.
I've walked 8 blocks on Concierge's advice, having had a dud lunch (walking away from creamy vegetarian pasta and greasy empanandas) so I'm looking forward to a decent glass of wine and some good tapas. It's 730ish and the wine bar is shut. so i keep walking down Bolivar and there on the corner is life - Territoro. Two great glasses of malbec, a cheese plate (complete with a great local lavendar goats cheese) and salmon taps for 77 pesos (19 AUD) plus they make a reservation for dinner up the way for me.....

| seemed appropriate to find this in the shelves tho only the title is worth reading (the rest of it is a diatribe requiring more than a glass of wine...) then across to La Vineria de Gualterio Bolivar a 12 step journey for approx $60 aussie dollars. Interesting and not always successful pairings (particularly malbec rose with a "sea water, "ravioli" of foie, with seafood salad) but food that makes you thing. from the 36 hour braised octopus to the sous vide braised pork, while a bit hit and miss, worth trying and applauding |

| didnt realise organic wine was an option... |

| favourite = egg bread which was actually deep fried bread with set yolk still runny in the middle, dried olive truffle crumbs, and tart cheese smear |
