Melody’s out of town and, with thoughts of our son Tony and his friend George who are backpacking in South America and are currently in Brazil, I’m having this La Barrio La Boca Malbec 2005 from Argentina.
Tony and George have actually left Buenos Aires, Argentina and are now in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but Argentine wine is as close as I can get. (Do they make wine in Brazil?)
This La Barrio La Boca Malbec 2005 is a fun, dry, fruit-forward (cherries) wine at way, way under $10. Very pleasant, very drinkable, went great with hamburgers tonight.
Tony and George did some wine-tasting of some high-end Malbec in Argentina and raved about it. If this La Barrio La Boca Malbec 2005 is any indication, I’m sure their experience was excellent.
