The Gaucho Club Malbec 2007 750ml Mendoza Argentina

The Argentina Malbecs are becoming a favorite of the frugal wine drinkers because of their excellent taste to price value.

The Gaucho Club Malbec is excellent. When I first uncorked this I expected to be disappointed… The price was cheap, the label looked a little cheesy to me and I thought here is a poor play on the Argentinian Gaucho used to ride the Malbec craze.

Woops! Totally wrong. The first Malbec I had tried was very good and $16.99. This one at $9.99 with a $2 off coupon making it $7.99 was better. I picked mine up at a local Publix supermarket.

If you like Cabernet’s, Zinfandel’s or a Shiraz you should give this Argentina Malbec a try.

Your taste buds will be delighted and your wallet will be estatic.

This wine was the Las Vegas Reviews Wine of The Week.

Ahhhh Old Vine Zinfandel’s. We really like these.

We have already reviewed our poll winner Gnarly Head Old Vine Zinfandel and we loved it. The review will be posted soon.

This Old Vine Zinfandel was so good we decided to do a shoot out between three popular “Frugal” Old Vine Zins all paired with a favorite BBQ Rib recipe.

The Old Vine Zin Shootout…

Gnarly Head Old Vine Zinfandel vs Bogle Old Vine vs 7 Deadly Zins Old Vine.

We have had BBQ Ribs two nights in a row now, but we love ribs as you can see in the pictures below.

If we can get the technical (legal gobble dee gook) in order we will run a contest to win an Apple ipod for who can guess the winner, second place and third place.

Look for more info soon
