*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Gallo Family Wines We pulled a 2008 Alamos Malbec from Argentina out of the basement the other night. It retails for about $13, clocks in at 13.5% alcohol by volume, and had a Diam closure. On first sniff I was turned off by this wine. It [...]
*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Pasternak Wine Imports This wine has it all for $8. I don’t drink much Malbec from Argentina. I often find them to be just a bit too brash and wild for my taste. However, this Malbec had everything I like about Malbec and a great price [...]

Now, I”ll be the first to admit that Malbec doesn’t usually float my boat. I often find them to be overoaked, tannic beasts that just don’t seem balanced for me. (And [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Macari Vineyards. I imagine this wine will pretty much sell out in the blink of an eye. As well it should, it’s a fantastic little summer Rosé. The 2008 Macari Rosé is a blend of 45% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Pinot Noir, [...]
