The Wine Megathread

Re: The Wine Megathread

This is a very average Malbec here (fairly decent taste though) ... Price is something nearly $40 argentinian pesos.. less than 4 us dollars ..

That cost me EUR 12.00 in a local wine shop or approx $13.00

We get hit with sneaky taxes/excises

It is classed as a budget malbec and I must admit it ain't bad, ain't bad at all.

You must have some truly wonderful wines over there

Comparing prices vs quality you can be absolutely sure about that...


With 15 dollars you can get a top notch Malbec ...Easily the same quality costs 35-40 dollars in the US ..

French Name an Argentinian Malbec World | The Beverage Journal

"The Union des Enologists de France (French Winemaker’s Association) has awarded the “Trophee Vinalies Internationale” for “Best Dry Red” to an Argentine wine for the first time – Bodega Valentin Bianchi’s Famiglia Bianchi Malbec 2012. The wine, from one of the oldest family-owned wineries in Argentina, had the highest score of over 3,500 wines tasted from 41 countries. The blind tastings were conducted by 150 members of an international judging panel. The wine comes from the San Rafael “sub-region” in the southern part of Argentina’s Mendoza wine region. The 2012 vintage Malbec from the winery’s popular premium-priced Famiglia line"

Ridiculous price here in Argentina.. Less than $10 us dollars.

Anyone ever had a good blueberry wine - or is that sacrilege? They had it at Fresh Market, no sulfates, actually I liked it. Tastes like wine just not from a grape.

Anyone here had wine from Maynard's Arizona based vineyard (from Tool)?
