Field notes

Argentina's wine-country anchor at the foot of the Andes — meaningfully drier and sunnier than Buenos Aires. Centro and Chacras de Coria are the typical bases. Same Argentina DNV applies; same peso-volatility-vs-USD arbitrage. Earthquakes are an actual consideration here in a way they aren't in BA.
