I have a soft spot in my heart for Malbec. Before I loved (or even liked) wine, I would frequent a wine/beer bar with a good friend of mine who was determined to get me to like wine. His favorite wine was Malbec. I remember him loving how it is so “spicy,” he said.

Are you stuck in the rut of buying the same three wines over and over? Are you ready to branch out and discover new wines, but you’re afraid you might end up dumping it down the drain?

Sometimes, whether you know it or not, your preference for a wine might have more to do with the wine’s structure than whether it tastes like fresh juicy strawberries or your grandma’s attic.
