2 months agoSEPTIMA Initial reception was good, the usual insistence on reservations though the place was 90% empty... blah, blah, let's see if we can squeeze you in. Miracle! They could seat us, please choose any of the 50+ open tables. A GENERAL NOTE ABOUT MENDOZA : The wineries here all demand reservations, you cannot just show up and wonder around the grounds, they will turn you away at the front gate. If you do manage to get let in, the restaurants will not serve you unless you have a reservation. The reservation can be for a tour with limited wine tasting, $50 USD TO $80 USD per person, or for a food and wine pairing, 3 ,5 or 6 course at USD $75 to USD $200 (Catena Zapata). A hundred U$D minimum for a couple just to visit a winery? No Thank you. How many wineries would you like to visit in Mendoza? Two wineries a day for 4 days? That's well over $1000 USD. NO! Use the funds for airfare to Napa, California and visit wineries for free, taste wines for $20 to $25, credited towards wine purchase, making the tasting free. Back to Septima: The Lamb sliders and cheese and charcuterie plates took a little while to be delivered. The Grand Reserve Icon Malbec was ok, good body, big tannins, rather unbalanced, but mostly way TOO COLD. Undrinkably cold. We asked the wine waiter about their normal red wine serving temperature, and he said 14 degrees C, but this glass was at 8 deg C. WHAT? Serving red wines that cold completely alters the flavour profile, mostly rendering it lifeless. The wine guy said their customers wanted a cold beverage, but did not want ice in the glass. Then serve them grape KoolAid, they probably wouldn't notice the difference, as long as it was served cold. The wine guy did bring out a complimentary glass of their 2nd top wine, cold but not impossibly cold. This wine was drinkable, and actually better balanced than the Icon vino frio. The lamb sliders were pretty good, nothing spectacular, big old buns with a sliver of lamb/goat (they used both descriptors) and caramelized onions. The predominant flavour was the onions, with occasional hints of lambiness The cheese and charcuterie board was also good, the salami had full garlic cloves ossified within , a real flavour bomb. Yummy. Stringy prosciutto, a sliver of brie. Two 1/4 pencils of blue cheese, a postage stamp of a lamina of gruyere?. A small but acceptable platter, not worth the price of admission. We ordered a tiramisu, my wife mentioned a deconstructed tiramisu she had recently endured. The waiter assured her that theirs was not deconstructed but was very good. We waited, and waited.... I was just about to request the bill and leave (but no waiter responded though there were 3 in attendance) when the tiramisu showed up. It looked like babyshytte piled upon dogshytte. My wife ate the top half but balked at the feculent brown goop below. What happened to the lady's fingers, what happened to the espresso? It appears that restaurants are competing to deconstruct their tiramisu to greater and greater degrees. Deconstructed? More like de-stroyed. Overall impression of Septima: Food - 2 stars Wine quality - 5 stars Wine service - 1 star Wine server - 5 stars, friendly, helpful Ambience - 3 stars , open, cold, barren Service - 1 star , waiter's and waitresses too busy chatting together, completely ignoring the customers. Long wait for food, even when the restaurant is nigh upon empty. .

4 months agoThe worst timing between food and wine! We ate every dish without wine and drank every wine without food!! Location, wines, food were amazing, simply the saloon manager doesn't know his job!!

a year agoAmazing tour of the winery (bodega) and exquisite tasting of their Obra, Tierra, and Gran Reserva wine's accompanied by homemade cheese. As well as the best and most amazing guide, Haise, let us pour our wine directly from the barrel to try it and provided us with umbrellas for our walk thru the sun and vinard. All and all a stunning experience, would recommend and do again!
