With a degree in Winemaking from the Liceo Agrícola and a degree in Journalism from the National University of La Plata, Joaquín Hidalgo is ideally placed to be a successful wine critic. Home is in Buenos Aires where he writes about wine and food for multiple outlets, including La Nación, broadly considered Argentina’s newspaper of record, and La Mañana de Neuquén. He is regularly heard on radio and co-founded vinomanos.com, the first mobile guide to Argentine wines.
In addition, Hidalgo is the South American editor at for U.S.-based Vinous.com, where trusted critics provide reviews of new releases from the world’s leading wine regions, as well as news and on-the-ground insights and observations.
