So I probably did the ghetto-est thing ever. One of the janitor guys in my parents' building gave me a bottle of Malbec. It's one of the many bottles of wine my parents' neighbor throws out -- he's a wine critic, so he gets boxes and boxes of free wine shipped to him and throws it out. So I was able to capitalize on this via the janitor - I feels so dirty, sketchy con carne to be exact.
However the Malbec is good, but it's not an Argentinian Malbec. The Official Yolo County Sawbuck Malbec retails for about $12 This California wine has aromas of ripe red apples, blackberries and vanilla. It also has hints of spice and leather. It's a soft Malbec, but goes down effortlessly. And the same vineyard makes my favorite Syrah, Matchbook, so I am officially a fan of these California guys. The Malbec is going nicely with my DVR-ed L&O SVU.
