MEET THE MALBECS AT PARAVICINI

Over the last few years, Malbec has come on the wine scene in a huge way. Much of this "hugeness" has come from Argentina. These wines have been bold and expansive like Argentina itself. We find that a majority of our customers prefer Argentine Malbecs over the more standardized red wines of Chile. But the homeland of Malbec is France. Cahors is its bastion and it is also one of the allowed red grapes in Bordeaux. So Malbec is really a many splendored thing with a varied and complex sensory profile. For you and us to get a handle on this, we are going to hold a tasting of some of the world’s top Malbecs. This will be at Paravicini’s on Tuesday, April 4, commencing at 6:00 p.m. Paravicini’s owner/chef, Franco, will craft some fine appetizers to complement the wines. The tariff is $29/taster (plus tip and tax). Please let us know if you would like to be with us exploring Malbec’s splendor (475-9700).
