I have not been to Argentina, but I echo the advice on Argentine wines.  Malbec 
(a red variety) is their speciality, and many are quite good.  A good malbec 
really "opens up" when it is allowed to breathe.  First sip upon opening can be 
quite good; wait an hour or so and you will be very pleasantly surprised.  
Leave it open and the next day can be a "wow" experience. YMMV depending on 
producer, vintage, storage, etc.

Make sure you use your OM to make some good photos of bottle, glass, etc.
