Mio Buenos Aires (stylised as MIO Buenos Aires) is a boutique hotel associated with urban wine tourism in the Recoleta neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It opened on 12 April 2011 and is operated by Mio Hospitality as the hotel venture of a branch of the Catena family, historically linked to wine production in Mendoza Province.
The architectural and operational concept was structured around wine culture, integrating viticulture-related elements into the hotel's interior design, services and branding. Rather than being located at a vineyard, it has been described as an "urban winery" model intended to connect Mendoza's wine identity with Buenos Aires' wine-and-food circuit.

Peter Barron was a 19th-century British sugar and wine merchant in Shahjahanpur who supposedly discovered Nainital on 18 November 1841, as recorded in a colonial journal. He wrote this using the pen name "Pilgrim" in a book published in the Agra Gazetteer, Notes of Wanderings in the Himalaya, and described it as being such that he had nowhere else seen its like during his travels. Barron also added several commercial and residential buildings, as well as the first English-language school in Nainital, calling it Pilgrim Lodge, which is portrayed widely in British-era postcards and images. By the mid-1840s, Nainital had developed as a commercial town along with numerous new houses, churches, and civic amenities.
Alfred Wright (1985–2013) was a 28-year-old physical therapist from Jasper, Texas, who went missing on November 7, 2013. He was found dead 18 days later by volunteers in a wooded part of Sabine County about 150 yards from where law enforcement agencies had previously searched. Preliminary autopsy results listed a drug overdose as the cause of death, with toxicology reports later revealing the presence of cocaine and methamphetamine. Wright's family and supporters, however, refuted this finding following trauma that was found on his body and claimed foul play. Shannon Finley was indicted on federal counts connected to Wright's death in 2014 and, in 2015, admitted to a plea agreement for manslaughter.
