Is Salta The Next Mendoza?

The September 2009 edition of Travel + Leisure Magazine featured an article titled, "Argentina's New Crop". Writer Bruce Schoenfeld travels through Mendoza, which most wine lovers will recognize as Argentina's premier wine region. This area provides travelers with 5-star wine lodges, great food, and plenty of beautiful scenery. And for those with an adventurous spirit there are plenty of outdoor activities to keep you busy.
From there, Bruce continues to the area of Salta (12-hour drive), a much lesser known, but up and coming area that is beginning to produce some the areas best wine. Many people say Salta is what Mendoza was 15-years ago. But that could change rapidly if you look at the way foreign investments have transformed Mendoza.
