    I’d have to say the 2005 Norton Malbec Reserva. It was a solid, nice wine and I really enjoy Malbec (but still second to Merlot).

    The Montes Alpha M was pretty damn good. Had that with some pork roast a week ago.

    Hey, great to see something different, I’m glad there was a good one too. I was drinking a lot of Argentine Malbec last year, but I can’t recall any that would be my favorite.

    QOTD: Back in grad school, I had a Concha y Toro Cabernet that cost around 12 bucks. It smelled like tomatoes and black fruit. Very tasty. I drank it with my good friend sitting on the porch near State St and the Capitol Square (Madison, WI)… Aaah, good memories.

    Chocolan has come a long way over the past few years. They have a great Rose and did I mention they are just down the road from the Vineyards of PengWine!

    QOTD: I had an exceptional Chilean Cabernet about 20 years that was about $7, but I can’t remember who the producer was. Have had several excellent wines from S. America, but, alas I don’t tend to keep record of producer, just enjoy them :)

    QOTD– Probably a Casa Lapostolle Chardonnay — little pricy though… Can’t beat the Argent Malbecs

    One of the best South American Wines I have had is from Mendoza Argentina is a 50:50 Merlot:Malbec produced by Michel Rolland and Danuel Pi. The Vintage was 2002 and the name of the wine is Trapiche ISCAY. HAVE YOU HAD THIS WINE?

    All the hype on the 04 Chocalan and your sold out — what’s up w/ that? I think free shipping for all now :)

    Have not had much experience with South American wines, but one that comes to mind is Miguel Torres Santa Digna Chard. Very good product, and very unique in it’s flavors. Just can’t seem to find it around this area anymore.

    QOTD: Catena Alta Malbec 2004. But you have to open up the wallet more than I like to. But it is worth it.

    Another great episode. Again, I can only drink kosher wine so I’m limited in what I can drink from South America. Hey, DB me on CORK’D!
