Mrs G. did some beef tenderloins in a French onion gravy that I would normally have mentioned in the dinner thread but I forgot to take a pic until too late (
) Fortunately, I can talk about the wine. Was at Total Wine (in Alpharetta) picking up some vermouth and saw a new wine to me and thought I’d give it a try. It’s an Argentine Bordeaux style blend (60% Cab, 25% Malbec, & 15% Cabernet Franc). The producer is Mascota Vineyards and is the 2015 Unanime. It was normally about $25, but they had it for about $17. Who could pass up a bargain like that? (FYI - I am a fan of their regular Cab at about $15.). In short it was a tremendous bargain. I don’t buy much wine in the $25 range anymore (other than the occasional high end Pinot Noir -sorry
@NVGator ;)), but this would have been a bargain at that price. Not overly fruity like some California Cabs nor austere like some Bordeauxs, this seems to fall into the sweet spot in between. I’d probably buy a few bottles to set aside at the normal price, but at the sale price, I’m picking up a half dozen at least. This is a wine that’ll last another 5-10 years for anyone interested. For those who like scores, James Suckling, a long time critic for Wine Spectator, gave it a 94. I have no idea how to score wine, but couldn’t disagree with anyone saying it’s a grade A wine. Here’s a pic of the label:
