LONG DESCRIPTION

Wow! I usually shy away from Malbecs because they can be a little too dry and peppery for me. Now that I’m verrrry deep into a true blood rewatch I extra-prefer wines that feel ripe & alive (read: like blood). I opened this sexy lil wine along with a Manchego and holy shit – I was blown away by the experience. I could literally taste the minerals in both the cheese and the wine. They accentuated each other in a way that felt almost spiritual. Alone, both the cheese and the wine were great. But together, damn. The experience made me understand why wine & cheese are a long-standing pair. Also made me sour that I’ll no longer have the chance to visit Spain this summer.

DEFINITELY buy this wine. I think it was about $16 at the Acme on Passyunk. And buy the Dibruno Bro’s manchego cheese while you’re at it!! A perfect pair to consume while your disassociating in Bon Temps with Sookie Stackhouse and Vampire Bill.
