In April, BAlocal took a NYTimes journalist on tour to discover an up-and-coming neighborhood, untouched by tourists yet is the talk of the locals.  That neighborhood would be Barracas - bordering San Telmo and La Boca, its packed with tons of history and is going through an enormous gentrification process.  We scouted out historical sights, new chic restaurants, B&Bs, shows, old factories turned into lofts and a huge bohemian art scene painted all over the streets and hard-to-find galleries.   Unfortunately, the editor cut out anything about BAlocal guiding the tour so I thought I’d mention the article.  Here you go, June 7, 2009 - In Buenos Aires, A New Revival:

I recently went to a wine tasting held in the home of Daniel Karlin - owner of Anuva Wines.  The wines he offered such as Torrontes and Malbec were exceptional.    He deals with only exclusive vineyards and can ship anywhere in the US.  You can’t find these wines anywhere else in Buenos Aires.  If you like the wines and you want to keep them coming, Anuva Wines offers memberships to its wine club where you have the pleasure of receiving these incredible wines every month.  Please have a look, its worth it, that is if you’re a wine connoisseur or at least hope to be one after Daniel’s educational wine tastings:

This great new event that happens four times a week in Buenos Aires, Argentina is a great way to get your practice on.  Everyone comes just to practice their language skills as well as meet some new faces.  I absolutely recommend going because it is soooo much fun.  check it out:
