Event #3 -- Malbec

Picture

WINNER: Vaglio Malbec
COUNTRY: Argentina

​Earthy and fresh, this bottle of wine has a plump dark fruit flavor with a smidge of green herbs.  The often underrated Malbec offers more than just value when it comes to higher priced reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.  The main fruit flavors in Argentine Malbec are blackberry, plum and black cherry with hints of milk chocolate, leather, and depending on the amount of oak aging, a sweet tobacco flavor.  Bold, but smooth without much of a lingering finish, Malbec pairs nicely with rustic flavors like cumin and lean meats such as pork.

ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT
You just read that Malbec is typically the "underdog" when it comes to the red wine family; so it is only fitting to introduce Argentina's Paula Pareto, the first Argentine judoka to win an Olympics Games gold medal! Leading up to the games, Brazil's Sarah Menezes was the hometown hopeful to win the gold in Judo.  Unfortunately, Menezes not only lost her repechage match, but she went out with a dislocated elbow; opening the door for underdog Paula Pareto to rise in the ranks and take home the country's first gold medal in Judo! Congratulations, Paula! You are in inspiration to many!

I want to join the wine Olympics because it will help us to become that competitive person that we wanted to be. There will be challenges that we will face, but let us have that integrity. A principle that will help us succeed in this life. I will be fighting for what is right and I will be strong in these times. I know that we can all make it till the end. It will be a great mission to fulfill. I will do whatever it takes.
