Argentina A La Antigua:  Homemade Absinthe and Flavorful Things
    
Strangely, this little shop in Mendoza has no website.  The owner inside has turned a hobby into a business:  making chocolate,
     liquor, and dulce de leche in a wide variety of flavors.  If you are in Mendoza and a gourmand-type, it's a must-see.
