a tale of Malbecs.....
I organized a tasting of 18 top malbecs for a group of Hong Kong based "whinos" yesterday at a high end dead cow place.... it was a very long evening with a lot of very good Malbec. I created three different categories, according to the price of the bottles. Here are the winners....
Value Malbecs Gold Medal - Escorihuela Gascon Pequenias Producciones Malbec Silver Medal - Rutini Coleccion Malbec Bronze Medal - Jorge Catena Zapata Ricominciare Altisimo Malbec Premium Malbecs Gold Medal - Catena Zapata Angelica Zapata Malbec Alta Silver Medal - Matilde Lamadrid Single Vineyard Malbec Bronze Medal (tie) - Rutini Antologia XXXI and Mendel Finca Remota SV Malbec High End / Cult Malbecs Gold Medal - Rutini Apartado GRAN Malbec Silver Medal - Parcela 26 Malbec Bronze Medal - Cobos Malbec Marchiori Vineyard |
For reference, could you provide the general price ranges of the value, premium, and high end categories?

Having by no means tried a wide range of Malbecs, one of my favorites is the Montes Colchagua Valley 2011 from Chile. It's delicious and goes well even with light snacks/nuts for those long chats into the night.

to get a feeling for the cost of these wines, the argentine currently trades at around 6 peso to the us dollar on the official market. the "blue market rate is 9.4 peso to the dollar.
for those available in usa, one can check wineseracher dot com |

Guess where they get the Malbec from....... ;) :p
I'd like to try out some Argentinian wines too, but they're not easy to find in Asia. Would Hong Kong be a good place to find them? |

Hm.. I have a niggling feeling the answer is Argentina but how did that come about?
