Wine enthusiasm: Try a Malbec from Argentina: I had a bottle of Bodega Salentein Finca El Portillo Malbec, 2001 over the weekend ($8.99 at Premier for a Wine Spectator 90 score!). A red which might be described as the opposite of a soft-feel Merlot. It would make a great everyday red, went great with meatloaf, sesame noodles and a spinach/bacon/parmesan salad. I also bought another Malbec, Don Miguel Gascon Malbec, 2002, for $7.99 for a Wine Spectator 87, but haven't tried it yet.
