i was getting into a bit of a malbec rut (guggenheim is probably my favorite), so one of the lovely men at the sutton wine shop recommended this vidigal reserva over a month ago, and i’ve bought it for almost every wine-appropriate occasion since. i don’t know enough about wine to describe it in any sort of sophisticated way, so i’ll just say that it’s smooth, delicious, affordable, and everyone i’ve forced to try it has enjoyed it. after thanking the man at the wine shop recently for recommending it, he told me it was a big hit among his patrons, and that they were coming in to buy about a bottle a day! (yikes!)

pictured is 2009 vintage, but here’s a link to more info about the brand and the wine itself (they feature a 2008.)

l’chaim!
