Dearest Feastlings,
This Saturday’s tasting offers up four Malbecs: one from Cahors, home to the grape, and three from Mendoza, where they’ve picked it up and run with it. Regrettably, it’s already completely booked up by the people who came to last week’s Syrah tasting. You’re welcome to call and put your name on a waitlist, but otherwise, this note is strictly to satisfy your curiosity about what everyone else will be tasting this Saturday at 2:00. Sorry, all.
