Malbec Madness: From France to Argentina
Originating from the Bordeaux region of France, this grape is among the "big six" of red wine grapes. With the exception of the Cahors of south-western France, its fame and fortune in France often end there. It is still used as a blending wine in Bordeaux, but with very little effort being devoted to its further improvement or success.
The story in Argentina is quite the opposite. Malbec has found both fame and glory in the sun-drenched climate and high Andes Mountains of Argentina. This is Argentina's signature grape and it is quickly making a new name for itself in the global wine industry. Our list of wines tonight will be sure to please any and all red wine lovers. As usual a fine selection of snacks and finger foods will be served. Reservations required.
