lomo saltado.
Green mango and peanuts.
"The unfaithful one"...
Grapeland
Love the dunes.
Andresito y Nicolas, Daniel's cousin Henry's kids.
La abuela and the family pisco: ALVAREZ.
Daniel's uncle Luis Antonio.
Henry (right) fights the roosters, I'm not sure what he's doing to his eyes!
Henry gives me a personal tour of the Bodega Alvarez.
First step: the grapes are squashed! One day I'll be back for the stepping of the grapes, which occurs around late January or February.
Not sure what the second step is... fermentation?
Eventually the
cachina, young wine, gets distilled through this thing.
And here the liquids are distilled with a cooling bath around the tubing... at least that's what I understood (after a few glasses of cachina!)
"Ica the Land of Pisco and Good Wine"
Grapevines and ant lines.
Cute cab...
Nicolas' art.
This kid is a ham, what can I say...!
Smiling Martha welcomes us to their home.
