On the wine/malbec front I'll let Alex make recommendations but I love Yacochuya M.Rolland. Not cheap but top drawer.
Oh I tried the morcilla. I was able to get two bites and then was turned off the the tasted and texture. I was sickened once years back by liverwurst and most of the strong flavored and textured liver and such brings back a (not sure what) but I get turned off...happens with about 4 or 5 foods I've had in my life. I tried black pudding in Ireland, same thing. I tried white pudding, and it was a little better.
