we tried a new wine
« on: July 09, 2004, 10:57:44 AM »
My wife is working the Argentina run now.  Last night she brought home a new Malbec called LUIJI BOSCA made by LUJAN DE CUYO.  (I hope I spelled the name right)

It is very nice,  if you are into wines I would suggest you give it a try.

I've hardly ever been disappointed by a South American red.

Perhaps ...
I must say the one I've tried would find usage only to remove the bugs of a car windshield (or the headlamp I don't want appear narrow minded :p )...

At first the taste was strange then my teeth enamel started to crack ...
no more Peruvian wine for me ! ever !

I like to see French wine sitting on the shelves of the local wine store.


Unsold.



While I buy anything but.


Salute to South American wine :aok

They can't even give French wine away in Northern California. Except to auto mechanics, who use that foul swill as a parts cleaner.

I was surprised by a couple of Australian reds that weren't half bad, BTW.

"French" and "whine" go together somehow.

I have found red wines from Argentina to be quite nice. I'll have to pick some up next month when I pass through Argentina.

Krusher, I was going DFW to EZE direct but now will need to stop off for several days in Chile so I'll be heading to Chile direct.

I'm off to Brazil next Wednesday. Had a business class ticket through Miami, but I upgraded the round trip to first class, and on a 777. Now that's the way to fly!

I've flown 85K miles on AA this year.

I am betting you have flown on a flight or two that my wife works.  

The Santiago run has been changed for the next few months so she jumped to Argentina.

Can you still buy Boone's Farm Apple Wine?

How about Blueberry Hill or the Strawberry one?

99 cents a quart.......

last time i visited my sister and her husband i went to purchase a Napa Valley Chardonnay, but they didn't have the one i wanted...I ended up buying a Chardonnay from Washington State from Columbia Vineyards that was recommended by store manager. It was very good. And at $20 a bottle, about half the price of Napa Valley

Here in the "Oil Patch" (that'd be the Gulf of Mexico region, for the unenlightened) they've found a new market for all those marked-down French wines: the roughnecks use it as a hand cleaner and general all-purpose de-greaser. If you've ever been on a drilling operation, you know how handy that is to have something so cheap and plentiful.:D
