Rama chocolates and confections.
Coffee
Argentina rivals Brazil and Colombia as a
major grower of the mighty coffee bean. Argen-
tina's coffee is wonderfully rich and a bag of
beans makes a terrific gift. You can purchase
fresh coffee at
Cafétal
, a retailer located
throughout the city specializing in coffee and
assorted coffee gadgets, or at
The Pier Café
in
Puerto Madero.
Wines & Liquors
Argentinean wines and liquors are excellent
and have received several well-deserved
awards.
Legui
,
a cordial named in honor of one
of Argentina's best jockeys, makes a terrific
gift. Spirits such as
Los Criadores
,
the
Breeder's Choice Whiskey, and several local
rums and beers are as popular as, and less
expensive than, imports. Wines from La Rioja
and Mendoza are especially good.
Tip
Remember that the wineries in the
Cuyo region of western Argentina and
in the provinces of Salta and
Catamarca produce Argentina's finest
wines. A great place to purchase them
while in Buenos Aires is
Bodegas
Trapiche
at Juan de Justo 5751.
