An arctic chill has fully overtaken the northern hemisphere, but in a parallel universe in Argentina, the sun is out, Champagne is being popped, and parillas are aflame. If you're in the mood for a sojourn to the sun (who isn't?), make your escape to Mendoza. Few wine regions live up to the label better than the area boasting quite the myriad of hotels. Between pairings and tastings, dips in the water, or strolls in shorts, here, a few spots to stay after a day of wine and sun.
