Lo de Joaquin Alberdi (JA!)

Cannot recommend this place highly enough! Fran was an incredible host to us on our trip and accommodated a special tasting for us that we are so grateful for. The 6pm tasting also looked incredible and my group was a bit poor at planning ahead, so for JA! to accommodate our schedule for this unique tasting experience truly meant the world to us. We loved learning about Salta from Francisco and will definitely be back again next week to get more great wines. Thank you for having us and see you again!

The best Vinoteca ever Wine tasting with complete explanations, stories, recommendations Worth it !

We stopped in on a Monday evening at the recommendation of a friend and had an absolutely fabulous impromptu wine tasting with Francisco. We’d just arrived in Buenos Aires and couldn’t have asked for a better start to our trip. We sampled several lovely, unusual (for us!) wines that we never would have found on our own. We were also given a thorough and engaging description of the wine regions around Argentina that are producing such fantastic wines. My knowledge of Argentinian wines is still limited (but growing), and after this visit, my enthusiasm is high. Will absolutely be back for the more formal tasting! Highly, highly recommended. Amazing location and staff!

I had an impromptu wine tasting here and wow…. I can’t say enough good things about this place… the owner and staff are super welcoming and friendly. Their wine knowledge are off the charts! Highly recommend to anyone interested in tasting incredible Argentinian wine while learning about them as well. Will absolutely be back soon.

The whole experience at Ja! is amazing! Joaquin, the owner, is extremely welcoming and makes you feel comfortable right away. He’s a lot more concerned with making sure you have a great experience and feel appreciated than with you actually buying wine, but from personal experience, they go hand in hand at this place. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a great tasting or a high quality wine.

I had a wine tasting session with José here and it couldn't have been better! We had no booking so went in on the off chance due to the reviews and was not disappointed. José, and all the staff there, were so friendly and spoke excellent English. José had so much knowledge about not only Argentinian wine, but also wine from other countries as well as giving us great advice for our onward travel around Argentina.

Thank you, Jose! We didn’t have a reservation for the tasting and were too late anyways, but he spent an hour with us explaining and sampling the different wines. Plus we got many recommendations for the rest of our trip, so all in all a wonderful experience!

We stopped by the shop for impromptu wine tasting without knowing you need to make a reservation! But Francisco was so kind and let us sample a few bottles and cheese which we ended up bringing some home. We had a great time chatting with him and Jose, who are also very knowledgeable about Argentinian wine. Highly recommend you to visit this place and have a tasting with them!

I started dating this girl in my tango class and -- totally on a whim -- invited her to go to Buenos Aires with me. (I think I was drunk.) That's not as surprising as this: she said yes. (Apparently she was also drunk.) So there we were in Buenos Aires looking for a little wine tasting. I read up on a few tasting rooms and decided to give JA! a spin. Boy, am I glad we did. This place was rocking. So first we hit the original shop. We sampled a few wines and thought about our options. The staff here is amazing btw. Great source of vino knowledge. Friendly. Personable. Really outstanding. After learning TONS about the Argentina wine scene, we signed up for the tasting which is done at 5pm at their OTHER location. (It's a block or two away.) We wandered over and met the 7 others in the tasting with us. It was a bit awkward meeting new people at first but after drinking a little wine, we really hit our groove. What a great group of new friends. Walter was our host, and he couldn't have been more charming. He really pulled out all the stops to make sure we had fun. Great wines and a sample of hams and cheeses towards the end. This place was simply awesome. If you want to learn about wine and taste a variety of Argentina's best grape juices, this is the place to do it.

The best wine tasting in BA. The owner is well wine educated. Gave us a lots of tips about how to pick the wine from Argentina. He make us felt like drinking at home. It's so relaxing with no pressure. We bought 6 bottles and we open 2 there and drink with owner Mr. Joaquin. He make us felt so comfortable and at the end of the night we agree this is the best wine tasting experience that we ever had. Not surprisingly.. We stop by the day after, before we head to the airport to say good bye. A few tip! Walk in.. Relax.. Taste Melbec first then start it from there...good luck

Great place to find the best of Argentina wines. Very knowledgable staff. English and French speaking staff.

My wife and I stopped by Saturday evening hoping to have a wine tasting. We were told we had to buy wine to taste it, that the establishment was not a bar (which we knew and did not expect), and that there is no wine tasting. This was all in spanish (which I speak), the staff did not speak English. I have no idea why this business gets positive reviews.
