Everybody loves a grilled cheese and Malbec. Pigmentum Malbec, my working lunch.

Sometimes you just have to have a grilled cheese sandwich.  Pairing it with a great red wine just makes the experience that much more memorable.  The French do it right, something simple with lots of flavor.  Excellent.  Today I paired Pigmentum malbec with a grilled cheese made with muenster. Delicious lunch.
When you mention Malbec, most peoples thoughts automatically go to Argentina.  But, Cahors France has been doing Malbec for centuries and boy do they do it well. This particular wine is brought to us by the house of Georges Vigouroux.  Literally centuries and generations in the making.
The nose is abundant with fragrances of fresh flowers and ripe red fruits.  You get hints of spice and the continuing aromas of the fruit.  Calling you to fulfill your fantasy and indulge your senses.
The mouth is soft and elegant.  Coating your tongue and cheeks with flavors that exhilarate and stimulate your palate.  Rich, ripe and velvet, soft elegant tannins.  This wine is perfect for a light afternoon lunch, paired with cheese for appetizers, or for that big roast beef.  It can handle itself with just about anything.  (this has been one of my favorite wines for years).  and under 15 dollars such a deal too.
Enjoy.

Doesn't that make you hungry. 
a great working lunch today.
