The great waiter at Carlitos recommended the ojo. It was so incredibly tender. With a nice malbec to wa down with. Had no room for the desserts!!

, so just used all Malbec, and I used a little bit of red wine vinegar and some of my very aged balsamic. Then added a combination of beef stock and diluted veal demi glace, covered, brought to a boil, added ribs, put in oven....

I ever made a red wine reduction exactly. I liked it, not loved it – but it’s nice to stretch and try something totally different. The wine sauce is grapey and a little sweet (I used a Malbec that tasted really nice...

the pureed passilla peppers with garlic to go over the steak... While the steaks rested I served the soup. Then we had the rest with several different red wines. The Italian 2006 Layer Cake Primitivo Zin and the Argentinian 2007...

you try french merlot and not just domestic (you may never go back if you do!), italian gavi and spanish tempranillo, try a malbec and a viognier too. Sample New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc against anything the US has to offer. Spend...

Four Vines is releasing a petit verdot-malbec blend this year. Don’t know it’s name yet but had it at a wine dinner a few months ago. Very good. I’m also a big fan of their “Peasant”, (Syrah,...

an outstanding collection of Argentinean Malbecs that can be wonderful, and he knows which is which. Good decanting, great lomo with the best garlic fries(second only to David Haskell/Mike Bryant’s duck fries at Bin8945)....
