Tonight we're having ham. As we're driving home from errands, I say, "hmmm what wine goes with ham? Hey, we've got a bunch of Malbecs in the basement. (I must have meant cellar:) That would be good." Mrs. Vino is skeptical, but the first recommendation I see after Googling wines with ham suggests a Malbec from Argentina! Bingo!! Maybe I am learning something. My impression is that Malbecs consistently have great balance and structure and this wine fits that impression. I get a bit of blackberry with good acid. The back label references ten different flavors - including blackberry. Ten! Ridiculous. Maybe Miles from Sideways helped them out. Look for this one. It has been a while since I had the Norton Malbec, but I'm thinking the Andeluna is better at a very similar $10 price point. (Don't forget "7" the Malbec blend which is awesome.)
