I imagine most people reading this blog don’t have so much money lying around that they would put a pile of it into buying a vineyard in Argentina. But if you know someone with dreams of owning their own winery, you might want to point them to this article I wrote for EscapeArtist.com, for their real estate quarterly. Dreams and Disappointments: Wine Investing in Argentina.

This came about because a guy from my home town lives in Mendoza now, running a consulting business for people who want to get into the wine business there. He’s also going to figure into a story I’m writing for Transitions Abroad right now on people doing “normal” jobs abroad. It’s a piece on people who have moved to another country to work, but are not teaching English, selling real estate, or doing tourism-related jobs. They’re just doing what they were already good at. More on that come December…

    I think that owning a vineyard in a foreign country s part of many peolpes dreams. So many today have a good job but a too hectic life and then the whole vineyard things is attractive, kind of combination of “no going back” and “back to earth” type of dream. Way to few people relize there dream.. and many who do, soon discover that the life they hoped for was nothing like the life they gott..
