Travel Expert Stephanie Abrams and the "Travel With Stephanie Abrams!" Radio Show sample the wines of South America with Scott Mathis, CEO and Founder of Algodon Wine Estates in San Rafael, Argentina. Algodon was founded about 5 years ago when Scott bought the vineyard and estate in Argentina's Mendoza region, at the base of the Andes. Scott originally intended to buy a small vineyard, around 40 acres, but ended up with Algodon, which has 2,050 acres of estate land and 325 acres of vines.

This week's travel buzz >>
The hotel boom in Buenos Aires continues with the recent opening of The Algodon Mansion. Far from the cluster of boutique hotels in bohemian-chic Palermo Soho, this refined 10-suite property is set in a restored 1912 mansion in the posh Recoleta district, home to designer shops, grand hotels and the famous cemetery where Eva Peron is buried. Guests are treated to a stash of luxurious amenities, including a pillow menu, a bottle of private collection Algodon wine and a personal butler who is on call 24/7 to arrange everything from dinner reservations to tango lessons.

Investments in Wine & Real Estate >>
Scott Mathis has been in the financial business for 26 years now –even in companies that had their golden ages such as Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers-, but since 1999 he expanded his scope of action and established his own investment fund: Invest Property Group, IPG, which is dedicated to real estate developments in California, New York and Mississippi. Right in the middle of the Argentine crisis, Mathis, a US citizen, decided to take even greater risks. He saw an opportunity and has already invested USD 25 million in the country.
