need help pickin a wine

[hoosierdoc]

the only place that uses Vitus Vinifera roots, that I am aware of, is Chile and they have serious vehicle searches as you move from one area to another to prevent the possible spread of phylloxera.

here is the real reason they are on "American root stock" Phylloxera - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

did you read my link? same story. I said aphid when it's a cousin of aphids though.

I just like to tweak the French due to their wine industry surviving because of American roots. Was a tough pill for them to swallow.

I am partial to south American Malbec's right now.

OP red or white?

I've been hitting those pretty regularly myself lately. I just find them tasty after dinner, or lunch, or (insert meal/activity). It's not a a Malbec, but the wife and I love Estancia Meritage. It's our go to.

Mmmm...Argentine Malbecs are a favorite of mine as well. Trumpeter is at a nice price point.

Thank you guys we will keep this in mind for next time. My bf just went ahead and bought her a second bottle of the Francis Coppola Pinot Noir.

1 bottle of wine doesn't last very long or go very far...I know this isn't your question, but why not just get her a back-up bottle?

Yeah, that's like dessert around here.
