Malbec - Pasqual Toso

Monday, 7 pm, just finished dinner. I actually cleaned allthe snow from the deck, started the grill, cooked a couple of pok tenderloins. While nursing the tenderloin I opened a bottle of Pasqual Toso, Malbec, from Argentina. Not expensive wine, $ 9.00 a bottle, excellent bouquet, lots of berries, a deep red and good body. The temperature outside was 28 F but felt quite nice. Christine lives close to the Airport so I enjoy seeing the departures, lots of airplanes, they average one departure per minute. As the meat cooked on the grill Ms. Peggy coordinated the mash potates, ecuadorian style, the sparagus and the bread. Christine and Rudy really enjoyed the home cooking. Diego is doing well, eats a lot so he is keeping Christine busy. The dogs are really enjoying the snow and have learned to look for rabbits. Just a minute I need a taste of this nice malbec.......I told Peggy that we need to go back to the liquor store before going back to Texas and get a few more bottles of this good wine. We went to the grocery store and bought lots of ingridients. Peggy is planning to do lots of cooking to leave in the freezer for Christine and family. I bought all the ingridients for pico de gallo and also planning to cook a good pasta with pesto dressing. Minneapolis has a great grocery store chain. I got involved in tasting some good cheeses, and some mermalades such as "membrillo". You have to try this, it is typical of latin america. Peggy had to pull me away from the counter otherwise I was goign to buy all the cheese in the store. More to come in the next few days....
