Good people the Catenas they make great wines, and they have developed the wine export business better than any other Argentine winery. For another great wine, pricey but actually cheaper for you than it is for us here in Argentina, check out Achaval Ferrer.
Checked with a couple of LBS and the 10 sp chains are generally available here. Only question is their reliability on a tour, but I have not heard major complaints from any of you. And I have the answer on gearing. I'll stick to 52-39-28 chain rings , and 11-34 10sp, and if it turns out I want somehting else for my unloaded riding, I'll switch the cassette.
