Nice read - I need to try more decent Argentinian Malbec. One of my Diploma ‘big exam’ questions was on Malbec and the differences between French and Arg Malbec

Oh the big exam! I hope this memory brought back satisfaction vs. anxiety and terror! :) Thanks for taking the time to comment!!

Yes - satisfaction rather than anxiety thankfully!

Excellent story as always! Does one dare to try an Argentinian red when one has just landed in Europe???

Thanks Sarah! Good question about wine choices! Have you had Argentinian Malbecs before? Did you have good access to imported wines in NZ?

Sarah Matheson's avatar

Yes we did have access to them in NZ but not a go to choice given the NZ reds. So much choice and not enough days :)

I totally get it! I really want to have this wine with beef empanadas and chimichurri sauce! 😍 Lip smacking!
