Hello Again From Grape Beginnings!!
Recently I've had the pleasure of tasting some great Malbec wines from Argentina. I'm a huge fan of "big cabs" and the Malbec category is starting to pick up a great deal of momentum with both the novice as well as the aficionado. Many of these wines retail at under $20. I tried a bottle of the 2005 CLOS DE LOS SIETE MALBEC...OUTSTANDING!! The bottle retails at $17.99 and drinks like a bottle that would retail at $75.00 or more. Pair this hearty red with sharp/savory cheeses, NY Strips, fettuccine alfredo, acidic salads, braised short ribs, lamb chops and foods that require the strong character of a deep, earthy red wine.
Pick up a Malbec this weekend...I promise you won't be disappointed. Drop us a line at Grape Beginnings and let us know how your Malbec experience turns out. For those of you out there that are looking for a nice overview on Malbec wines, here's a great article on the sudden popularity of this Argentine hidden gem:

Live Well,
Crixenauf
