Wine of the Week, November 20

Trapiche Broquel Malbec, 2005, Argentina. (POW, and POW Sections $15.19)

Yes, I KNOW Ron Crooks at the Port of Wines is pushing this one like he owns shares in the company, but dammit, he is right on this one. And if you don't yet know about this wine, you should. Extraordinary value for the $15 and change. Plus it looks just fine on a table. Malbec is normally a wine for big red meat, game and the like, and can even handle some spice. This one is refined, almost Bordeaux like, and exhibits class not normally found at this price. It will keep for a few years, if you can keep your hands off it. Buy more than one.
