Fun Wine Things blog

First of all, after watching Gary’s video, I had to do the “Wine test” myself.  (Actually a few times. I just wanted to make sure I got it right!) I didn’t go to the extremes as Gary, but I did use two different glasses.  First I tried a Malbec in a Champagne flute.  This experience, I have to say…wasn’t so pleasant.  As Gary would say, I thought I was drinking something equivalent to a pair of my son’s dirty socks!!! So next, I poured the wine into a Burgundy Glass, Wow…what a difference.  The Malbec I was experiencing was a 2008 Opi Malbec from Argentina.  This is a  plummy big red with a smokey taste and  some oak wafting through the layers of deliciousness. It’s a great wine to stand up against a spicy pork, which by the way, I was serving pulled pork with it.  One of my son’s favorite dishes. So, if you need an awesome Malbec pick up the Opi Malbec, or  try one of these great websites for some awesome and unique wines.  The Wine Messenger or My Wines Direct Cheers. . .
