From an Argentinian wine region to — wait for it — Missouri. :: BY CHRISTIAN L. WRIGHT


SALTA, ARGENTINA


The untrod northwest region of Argentina is the next big magnet for nature lovers: Condors fly above giant cactuses, snow-capped Andes mountains contrast with high desert, and ancient rock


formations vie for attention with Indian ruins. It’s also an up-and-coming wine region with old vines and new, critically acclaimed wines that are largely unavailable outside the country. Oenophiles can taste at wineries — some clustered in Cafayete, not far from the well preserved city of Salta (founded in 1582) — and also hike or ride a horse through ancient Indian and Spanish culture.


SEATTLE


The so-called Emerald City is getting a buff and polish. Part of ongoing renovations of the waterfront, Pike Place Market’s historic “marketfront” is already complete, marked by a modern plaza facing Puget Sound and panoramic views of the Olympic Mountains. After a $45-million reinvention, the Nordic Museum now sits in the Ballard district, the Scandinavian quarter that’s increasingly hip (nordicmuseum.org). And the observation tower of the Space Needle—built for the 1962 World’s Fair— has reopened after an overhaul, complete with a wine bar on a revolving glass floor.
