Malbec Quickies

Welcome to our world news roundup:
-New York Times Style Magazine (link here) goes deep into the most historic Buenos Aires' barrios (neighborhoods) and gives us very good tips not found in mainstream travel books.  If you like photography don't miss some truly great pictures.

"...Forget the martini bars and sushi joints. The real Buenos Aires resides in its bodegones, neighborhood restaurants steeped in what it means to be argentine..." (or "porteño" I would add). 

Wine reviews:
-2006 Trivento Golden Reserve Malbec
-Chakana Yaguareté Collection Malbec 2009
-Chakana Reserva Malbec 2008, Chakana Yaguaraté Collection Bonarda 2009, and Patagonia Pinot Noir by Familia Schroeder. After my post yesterday about argentinian bonarda take a look at the review for the Chakana Bonarda. From Michael Pinkus, the Grape Guy.
