Conquista Malbec Argentina 2010
Type: Malbec
Year: 2010
Price: 7.99
Rating: 3 - Will try it again
Where Bought: Brews Wine & Spirits - on Capitol Drive
Comments: A very nice wine, pleasantly surprised. I say surprised, since in the past, I had found that Malbec's in general, seemed on the weak side. Perhaps, I just wasn't trying the right Malbec's. This went very well with dinner, even though they say you should have red wines with red meat, I find they are fine with whatever you like to eat. I had pork chops at this time, and was very happy with the results. Overall, a nice wine that I would like to try again.

Blackstone Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Type: Cabernet Sauvignon
Year: 2009
Price: 8.99 (Marked Down from 9.99)
Rating: 3 - Will try it again
Where Bought: Pick N' Save
Comments: This wine was one of my least favorite wines that I bought recently. It shocked me, since the previous Blackstone's were quite good. I attribute it to either the new year of grapes, its a 2009, or the fact that the store didn't properly store it. Either way, I won't give up on a past decently good wine. Even though I cannot give it glowing remarks, I will say that it tasted better chilled.
