Malbec : the wine of Cahors and Argentina : two aspects



As you all know, Malbec, the grape originally from Cahors, is also the grape of most Argentinian wines.

Don't let us be too chauvinist and look at two different aspects of Malbec.

First of all let's submerge into Argentina, the land not only of Malbec wines but also of tango (some very interesting thoughts and parallels here).



Secondly, a very interesting article on a comparison between Cahors and Argentinian Malbec wines.

You will see that the Cahors Malbec wines have nothing to be ashamed of, on the contrary. They stand the test very well.
