Cup wines: 5 places to enjoy an experience with all the senses

With innovative Dispensrs, Happy Hours or tastings, some restaurants aim to decontract consumption and not limit it to accompanying meals. Here, five unmissable options.

Puraltura

Recently, a small space dedicated to the world of wine inaugurated in the Palermo neighborhood. Puraltura is the project of three childhood friends, who met again through their trajectories in the category of gastronomy, wine and music, and agreed to create a cozy place, with a limited menu, which accompanies its proposal of wine. Here the concept is to choose the dish and discover among more than 80 labels the ideal pairing. To do this, every night there is a sommelier in the service that advises and guides diners between different strains and styles from all over the country. “As part of the experience, we have defined a wine per cup, having available to the sparkling, white, pink, red and sweet customer, for dessert. Cup labels are designed to be able to harmonize them with the dishes, which were designed as something comprehensive,” says Alejandro Mesa Rubio, Sommelier and Puraltura partner. The chosen labels can vary, but always respecting the slogan of being “pairable” with the different options of the letter.

Address: Gorriti 3856, Palermo.

In just 25 m², with only sixteen covered inside and some more on the sidewalk, Casa Six achieves an intimate proposal that combines wines from various Argentine regions with a kitchen of the author of intense flavors, noble ingredients and a lot of creativity.
