052 - Celebrating World Malbec Day 2021 With a 2019 Viñalba Malbec & a 2016 Kontos Cellars Malbec

#HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime and, since tomorrow is #WorldMalbecDay, Shelley and Phil are tasting through two different Malbecs, one from Washington State and one from Argentina! One is a 2016 Malbec from Kontos Cellars and the other is a 2019 Viñalba Malbec. Two different countries, two different price points but one great noble grape! Grab one or both of these and have a taste with Shelley and Phil, or pick up your OWN favorite and compare and then share. However you choose, we encourage you to savor the wine and savor the moment.

• 2019 Viñalba Malbec ($14 from The Culinary Stone)
