The Times grades Argentine Malbecs


One of my favorite red wines is Malbec, one of the six grapes allowed in the blend of red Bordeaux wine. Obviously, it's a wine that has found roots in Argentina, Chile, southern Bolivia and here in the State on Long Island and a few part of California. So when I read the recent New York Times piece on a panel tasting some relatively inexpensive Malbecs and giving their assessment, I wanted to share it with you.
