World Malbec Day, April 17th, offers an interesting platform for Malbec lovers to compare wines of this varietal, share their thoughts about them on Twitter and Facebook, see what other tasters have to say and add new wines to their favorites list.
If you’ve never participated in an online wine tasting, it’s great fun:
- Buy your favorite bottle of the featured grape varietal, in this case, Argentine Malbec.
- Invite some folks to share the experience, or snuggle in your JPs in front of the computer.
- Sip and share your wine comments with other tasters from around the world!
What I’ll be uncorking for the big day:
- 2010 Graffigna Centenario Malbec, an affordable ($12) little number from Argentina.
Remember to use the hashtag #MalbecDay to participate in the celebrations on Twitter (are we connected there? @foodwinechickie) or share your tasting notes on the Wines of Argentina Facebook page.
About Malbec: Malbec is medium to full-bodied and offers ripe fruit flavors of plums and blackberry with notes of vanilla, spice and tobacco.
Typical Malbec Food Pairings: Red meats are the perfect pairing for Malbec, but it can also stand up to spicy Mexican, Cajun, Indian or Italian foods. BBQ is great matched with Malbec.
Salud!
