What To Order At A New York Bar? You’ll love this Affordable And Friendly Wine

Okay, let’s get real. Choosing a wine at a bar can sometimes feel like trying to navigate a maze blindfolded. But worry not because we’ve got a secret weapon for you: Argentinian Malbec.

A New York bar is a very expensive place to make a mistake. So here I’ll give you 7 reasons why I love Malbec so much and why it may be the right choice for you. How much do we love it? We love Malbec so much that our Instagram handle is TASTINGMALBEC 🙂

Argentinian malbec is the red wine that’ll make your bar decisions as smooth as its taste. So, sit back, relax, and let’s uncover why Malbec is your perfect partner for a night out.

Reason 1: Argentinian Malbec’s Flavor Profile

Let’s cut to the chase – Malbec isn’t just any red wine; it’s a flavor-packed adventure. Imagine a fiesta in your mouth with plums, cherries, and a hint of blackberry dancing the night away. It’s like the best fruit salad you’ve ever had, with a dash of excitement. No need for a decoder ring; just sip and savor.

What can you can expect from a typical Malbec? Close your eyes and imagine ripe plums, juicy cherries, and a hint of vanilla on your palate. It’s like a fruity, velvety dream with a touch of spice. Each sip is smoother with aeration.

Malbec is not too sweet. For more information on sugar in wine, check out our post here.

Reason 2: Argentinian Malbec’s Smooth Sippin’

Now, let’s talk about tannins. You know, those things in wine that can be as prickly as a porcupine’s embrace? Well, Argentinian Malbec is different than its French counterpart. Thank the Mendoza terroir for those soft tannins because the secret ingredient: the great altitude of the Mendoza terroir. Argentinian Malbec thrives in vineyards perched high up in the clouds. They bask in intense sunshine, creating wines that are fruity and bold.

Reason 3: Food-Friendly Fun

Picture this: You’ve got a plate of nachos, spicy wings, and a juicy burger. What’s the wine that’s going to party with your taste buds? Malbec, my wine friend. It’s the foodie’s best friend, the matchmaker of your culinary dreams. Burgers, barbecue, or buffalo wings – Malbec’s got you covered.

Reason 4: Affordability, My Dear Watson

New world wines? Delicious, no doubt. But let’s be honest, sometimes they come with a price tag that makes your wallet faint. Now, Argentinian Malbec? It’s like your favorite thrift store find – affordable and a total steal. You can enjoy a glass without worrying about your bank account filing for divorce.

Reason 5: Argentinian Malbec’s Terroir

What makes Argentinian Malbec extra special? It’s the terroir, baby! Those vineyards in the Mendoza region are perched high up in the Andes. The grapes soak up the sunshine, creating wines as bold as a bullfighter’s cape. It’s like wine-making on a flavor rollercoaster.

Reason 6: Unpretentious Charm

Malbec doesn’t need a red carpet or a fancy introduction. It’s like that friend who shows up to the party in flip-flops and still steals the show. Uncomplicated, unpretentious, and utterly charming – that’s Malbec for you.

Reason 7: Globetrotter’s Choice

Malbec isn’t just famous in Argentina; it’s a global superstar. People from New York to Tokyo can’t get enough of its friendly allure. It’s like the international friend who’s always welcome at the party. It will most likely be available on the menu.
