Jelu another Argentinean Malbec
Jelu
This wine is deep purple-black in color, with fragrant aromas of black plums. The palate is rich and inviting with ripe forest fruits and sweet smoky flavors.
The wine itself has prominent spicy flavors–very characteristic of Argentinean Malbecs–as well as those of dark plums, blackberries, and traces of vanilla. The finish is quite good, lasting well over 40 seconds, and includes satisfying blackberry notes. This is a wine sure to delight fans of “spicy” and “peppery” wines.
Often found at $12 a bottle, Malbec enthusiasts will want to try this affordable, solid example of a Bordeaux varietal that falls somewhere in-between a Cab and a Merlot. Though the label mentions this wine is a good fit for “barbecue meat,” be careful of the barbecue sauce you use. Sweeter sauces will not compliment this wine, but certain pasta sauces and rich cheeses certainly do. Any dish incorporating cranberries, unsweetened or semisweet, also makes a surprisingly good match, as will cashews. Of course, this spicy red is quite good on its own!!

Clos de los Siete -Malbec blend ?
'Tis the season to eat, drink, be merry and share a bottle of Clos de los Siete 2009 Argentine Malbec Blend. Deep garnet with glints of purple, Clos de los Siete 2009 is a beautifully balanced blend of 57% Malbec, 15% Merlot,15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah, and 3% Petit Verdot. This full-bodied red wine has a lovely long finish and shines with notes of juicy blackberries, plums, cassis and a subtle peppery earthiness. Matured 11 months (70% in French oak barrels and 30% in vat), Clos de los Siete's tannins are sturdy but not too aggressive. No need to decant but I would let this vino breathe for a bit to allow the flavors to really bloom. A very elegant and versatile wine, Clos de los Siete 2009 will pair perfectly with a hearty steak, beef short ribs, Boeuf Bourgignon, and even a juicy burger.

Raymond Napa Valley Chardonnay 2011
I am not big drinker of Chardonnay, but I must say that I was quite charmed with this splendid offering. As stated in the promotional add the wine had an enticing honeysuckle nose and offered crisp yet smooth and harmonius flavors of pear, apple and just a touch of lemon. This was all capped off by the oakey vanilla finish. 5 out of 5 stars in my book.
