Campbell is passionate about Malbec and travels five times a year to oversee his four vineyards in Mendoza. He brings the juice back to the States, where he bottles the wines."... The future for Malbec is bright. Made correctly, Malbec captures what everyone likes about red wines: dark, mouth-filling without being too heavy or tiring to drink, hedonistic, complex enough to be interesting, and very reflective of terroir...”
What Mr. Campbell is saying, is what I have been saying all along:
''... There is no doubt in my mind that malbec is the grape of the future. It's the only red grape (with maybe Pinot Noir, but its wines are more expensive) that men and women alike can enjoy together at the same time. And doesn't matter if you are a beginner or an old wine connoisseur, with malbec wines there is always something for everyone. You could say it is a very "democratic wine". It appeals to everyone, and it is affordable. A pair of short ribs (U$ 4.50 a pound ), a tomato salad (U$ 1 a pound) and a Malbec for let's say U$15- U$20 and you have an unforgettable dinner...."

In the same article an interesting new way of doing wine tastings: "Comparative Malbec Virtual Tasting". A wine tasting through the "internets"?

"Vale la Pena" means "worth it" and we've always liked the name!
