We're serious! Especially under the warm sun at the foot of the Andes in Mendoza, Argentina. But, if you choose your hotel wisely when booking a vinocentric trip, you'll have just what you need for a good post-wine wind-down: a bathtub. This video and the photo below shows our favorite part of the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/PARK+HYATT+MENDOZA/local/3531">Park Hyatt Mendoza</a>, where we spent the weekend indulging in the <a
