If you're hosting Thanksgiving this year and looking for an affordable wine to serve, or visiting the in-laws and want to impress on a budget, try these affordable wine buys:
2007 Guggenheim Malbec or Cabernet Sauvignon, $9! No relation to the museum (I'm sure they got full licensing rights to use the name...yah!) An excellent value wine here, very easy drinking and should go well with ham, turkey or tofu-loaf!
2006 Colome Malbec, $20... twice as much, sure... but ten times better. That's a ratio you can feel good about. I don't use this word often when referring to wine, but the Colome is downright sexy. It greets you with truffle and mocha on the nose and ends with dense currant fruit, rounded tannins and a very long finish. If you want to impress this wine will do the trick. Let it breath for about an hour before drinking for optimal enjoyment.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Cheers!
