Catena is a modestly priced and lovely tasting Malbec.
Have to look for that one. We usually have at least 4 or 5 bottles of Malbec on hand. I sometimes order from one of the wine clubs if they have a good deal.

If you have a convenient Trader Joe's they sell an Argentine Malbec (La Finca) for $4.49 I think is quite good as an 'everyday' wine.

this one is a good reasonably priced Argentine Malbec too. //www.city-data.com/forum/membe...ic147289-a.jpg

My wife was gifted with a case @ Christmas by her Zumba class since her maiden name is Mendoza.

As you can see the crate is empty and now it is used as a kindling box.

Can you recommend some of the Malbecs you have tried?

“Resistance is futile” at least when it comes to 🍒 Grab, (pay) and go. Got 2lbs for $9.99 at Costco this weekend. Not sure if it’s the Best Buy. Pitted & cleaned yesterday. Mr C and I enjoyed a couple handfuls.

Cream cheese and cherry jam on a bagel was my Christmas morning, riding in the back seat, looking through their Christmas stockings, keep the kids from bickering, on the way to Grandparents, Christmas breakfast for many years.

ARRRRGGGGGGHHHH! Just at the local market and cherries were $4.99/lb which after their long absence I'd happily pay, IF they were remotely close to ripe. Far too much bright red in the bags but hopefully soon.

I never make anything as I eat them by the handfuls, then they're are gone.



Just bought a couple pounds at the Farmers Market. They look beautiful. Like you, I just rinse them off
and eat them as they are.
