Alamos 2009 Malbec

Where the heck have I been? I have no idea, and no good excuse except that I tend to drink beer a lot more than wine in the summertime. But I'm back, and I'm still on my Malbec kick, though it's waning a touch.

This Argentinean Malbec was a blind Costco purchase by Eric, and all he can tell me is that it was probably around $15. In turn, I guess I'm living up to my forgetfulness, because all I can tell you is this wine gets a thumbs up. What—specifically—did it taste like? Not a clue... What did we pair it with? Couldn't tell you... Would I buy it again? YES!

Getting a little philosophical, I think this whole wine blogging thing is a learning process. I started this in the first place because I couldn't even remember the varietal I was drinking, let alone the name or year. I'm making progress, but I do need to actually write down the specifics if I want to remember anything more than whether I loved it or hated it. I promise to at least attempt to do better next time. In the meantime, I guess I just need to buy this wine again so that I can refresh my memory!
