...unique opportunity to enter a very interesting market," Botin said after unveiling the Abbey deal. Botin, 69, is an experienced hand at buying banks. He merged family-run Santander with two Spanish rivals and then snapped up competitors across the border in Portugal. Santander is heavily invested in Latin America, where it has a network of some 3,900 branches and 52,200 employees. In buying Abbey, Santander gets crucial diversification as well as entry into Europe's most profitable loan market. A potential worry for Botin: the British deal is so sweet, a rival bank may try to grab...
...world," says Ernesto Catena, 37, leaping over Malbec casks at his family's Catena Zapata winery in the Mendoza region. Even Uruguay, whose coups until now were usually only military, is seeing its obscure Tannat reds served by U.S. sommeliers like Richard Di Giacomo at Miami's pan-Latin restaurant Cacao. "The real fun of wine is sharing new discoveries," says Di Giacomo.

Chef Edgar Leal split his childhood between New York City and his hometown of El Tigre in rural Venezuela. That mix of Manhattan sophistication and Latin American tradition produced Cacao, which has quickly become one of Miami's most popular restaurants. Owner Leal and wife Mariana Montero take the timeless dishes your abuela (grandmother) cooked, like seviche, tamales and bobo de camarao (shrimp in cassava and coconut-milk sauce), and "deconstruct them," as Leal says, into haute cuisine with a presentation that can be as much fun as Carnaval. They have coaxed surprisingly velvety textures and piquant tastes...
DIED. DON TOSTI, 81, hard-driving bandleader who inspired a Latin-music craze in the '40s with the tune Pachuco Boogie; in Palm Springs, Calif. Originally a violinist for the El Paso Symphony, he played bass in jazz combos led by Jimmy Dorsey and Jack Teagarden. But it was his fusion of boogie, blues, swing and Latin beats that propelled him to become the first Latin artist to sell a million records...
