It's tomorrow, Wednesday 17 April, and I'll be busy at an Argentina tasting in Dublin sampling as many Malbecs as I can (report on that to follow after the event). This 'special Malbec happening' is the latest in a curious fashion for more and more grape varieties to cheekily book themselves into everyone's diary once a year (for wine geeks at least). As regards any southern French Malbec talk, I wrote a mini-series of long pieces about a Malbec road trip around Cahors country not so long ago, so you could amuse yourself with those:
Cahors: Malbec roadtrip part1 Château Les Croisille - Château Combel La Serre - Château Tour de Miraval.
Cahors: Malbec roadtrip part 2 Châteaux du Cayrou, Famaey, Métairie Grande du Théron, Latuc.
Cahors: Malbec roadtrip part 3 - Châteaux Haute-Serre, La Caminade, Armandière and more.
Link to part 3 also tells you more about the rest of this huge feature, which, in any case, is now only available as part of an even huger French wine e-magazine (downloadable eBook or emailed PDF). Best to follow this updated link: Cahors: special wine touring report now available.
And here's a link to a "Malbec of the mo" from Argentina:
