The Cheap Wine Chronicles Volume Two





In this entry, we get all sexy with a variety of red wine that you should get to know, intimately.

The Cheap Wine Chronicles Volume 1 Chapter 2
Alamos Malbec 2008
Price: $12



Well hello there, my new friend. What is Malbec? Why am I here? Where is my shoe? All these questions can and will be answered by consuming a bottle of Alamos Malbec. I was ignorant of wines up until a few years ago and had never heard of Malbec, (neither has my computer, which keeps trying to correct "Malbec" to "malice"). I knew about Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, all that business, but I had no idea what I had in store for myself when I first consumed this delicious treat. This semi-erotic Argentinian wine is in-your-face with serious fruit flavor and while somewhat medium bodied, is really easy to drink, with a high slammability factor.



                                  Because cast iron grills are where it's at as far as comfort.


Since Malbec is relatively unknown in America when compared to say, Cabernet Franc, you can buy this cheap as shit wine and really impress someone, if needed, by removing the price sticker. It doesn't have the negative stigma associated with it like Merlot has (thanks, Sideways) and is much more palatable to someone who normally would not drink red wine. It is a sexy wine, but remember to constantly check your mouth in the mirror so that you don't get sexy red teeth and sexy grape lip liner. This is a fun, cheap wine, that my dog and Mandy Patinkin both love equally.



                     "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you drank my Malbec, prepare to die."

Thank you and enjoy!
