Fernet or amaro in Medellin?

A friend of mine is nostalgic for Argentina and I was thinking of getting them a bottle of Fernet. I don't know much about it, but it's made from grapes and a lot of herbs and they drink it with coke in Argentina. According to wikipedia it´s a brand of "amaro". The 3 wine stores I hit had never heard of it.

The population of Argentina seems to disagree.

Sounds like that crap in the DR called "mama-juana" herbs soaked in wine. I wouldn't drink that garbage.

Where have you looked in Medellín? I might know of a place because an Argentine friend of mine bought some fernet a few weeks ago.

By the way, maté is the shit! I love that stuff :)

I don't intend to tiptoe through life only to arrive safely at death.
