According to this article, it is new for 2008. La Posta Starts New Year With New Wines I bought the bottle at a local Texas grocery store (Central Market) but I noticed that they have it at our local spirits/wine/beer warehouse "Specs" so it shouldn't be too hard to find. I thought is was really quite good - better than the Bonarda but that may just be my preference. I haven't tried the "Pizzella" or "Paulucci" Malbecs yet though, so I cannot really compare it to those. Here is the back of the bottle for more information. I had some grapefruit so I decided to make something with that. Palm Beach Special 3/2 oz Blue Coat gin 3/4 oz fresh squeezed grapefruit juice 1/2 oz Carpano Antica sweet vermouth Cheers to Al, Jim, Dan, Raffy, Dinny, Dusty, Mike, and the Hoboken bitches!

2008 La Posta Cocina Malbec

I am back I town so I'll be joining you tonight!

Flew back home after a productive trip to Connecticut. I like being home.

That is awesome Al

Happy birthday Brent!!!

That looks excellent Al.

Working hard and drinking (no rum &) Coke How do you like it Dinny? I think it is pretty nice and can usually get it around here pretty cheap (~$50).

Happy Birthday Jin!

Happy birthday Raffy!!!

Happy Birthday!

Flew on one of those awful regional jets today. I did however find out that the Aeronaut fits perfectly in the overhead bins (at least the ERJ 145)! (Sorry for the bad pics.)

Sounds like an excellent plan Vicki!

(laughs)

Me too (buying one as soon as they come out). I am currently headed to the airport making another trip with the giant 15" MBP (which is probably not as bad as the Dell however ) .

Many congrats to you and your family Nate!!! Also, hope everything stabilizes soon.

By the way, in my "spare" time, I have been taking my old posts and putting together my Anvil gallery on smugmug. Not quite done with the old drinks and I have ~20 left to make. My link

Must compare the usual Liberal...
