Don't cry for me... I'm in Argentina!
Traditionally the reason the Malbec grape is used in American wineries is that it is considered part of the "Bordeaux-blend" recipe. Malbec is not considered a hardy grape, which makes it unpopular in America. It is a thin grape, sensitive to spring frost, mildew and rot. BUT...in Argentina and Chile the Malbec wine varietal is alive and doing well. It stands alone as a single varietal growing by the Andes Mountains and producing some lovely wines. Its flavor profile is often designated by plum and anise, and makes full bodied almost inky wines that go well with stews and simmered dishes..
Expressions of this unusual and not well known grape varietal will be presented at our February Wine Varietal Seminar on February 16, 2010, presented by Wine Sommelier David LeClaire from 6:30-9:00. $35.00 per person RSVP required by February 13th. (425) 844-4102 The event comes with lots of delectable French hors d'oeuvres hand crafted by Auberge de Seattle, a French Country Inn and Specialty Cooking School nestled in Woodinville Wine Country. |
