If you're Googling porn use a respectable browser fer Christsakes!

Originally titled "Another Andean Sex-Pot" as a nod to the sexual voluptuousness of this gorgeous Malbec, the perverts of the world looking for after-hours, adult satisfaction (most of whom use Explorer, gross) get re-directed to precisely this wino post.  Are ya fucking kidding me?  I'm picturing dudes carrying an extra 40lbs or so, with plaid, department store, elasticized waistband, flannel, cheap, jammy bottoms....  and you wonder why I drink...

The original wino review:

I'm talking major bombshell here.   I'm temped to take away half a point from the perfect-scoring Trivento and give it to this beauty based solely on the parent companies - Trivento being a subsidiary of a frighteningly large wine-giant; and this lovely, ruby, award-winning slut made from organic grapes from a small vinyard.  Still, the Trivento is a shade more delicious.

Tonight's selection:
Wine: 
Domaine Jean Bousquet Organic Malbec, 2011
Origin:  Mendoza, Argentina (Tupungato valley, to be precise) 
Price:  $12.95
CC score:  4.5 of 5 = PFG+

It's immediately plummy and velvety, a lovely mouthful with dark, fruity/berry-ness.  I really, really want a smoked gouda or a hunk of pecorino with this glass!  Or sliced avocado, unsalted cashews, peanut butter on a cracker... something with beautiful fatness.  It almost finishes smooth, but then - eek - there's an almost too acrid afterbite.  Almost sullies the experience, but doesn't.  Organic, yet contains sulphites.... hmmm, yeah, one more argument against the exploding "organic" propaganda machine.  Anyhoo, I think it's time I fessed up and came out of the Argentinian closet as a full-blown Malbec lez.  I'm warm for your form if you come from Mendoza, baby.



I want to instagram you forever.

In-store instagram.  I was asked what I thought I was doing.
