Americans in Cahors for the Malbec Days

The International Malbec Days are just a few weeks away.  Our American friends and guests are now getting ready to fly to Cahors: journalists, bloggers, enologists and wineries are on our guest list.

In the US, Malbec is a very small and exclusive production. Just a very few wineries are making 100% Malbec wines. Among them, there is Peachy Canyon winery in Paso Robles. The owner, Doug Barrett, is more famous for his Zinfandels that were recently presented at the American Wine Tasting in Paris featuring Zinfandel as the guest of honor.

I had the pleasure of tasting all Peachy Canyon winery Zinfandels last summer but was also absolutely amazed by the quality of their very exclusive Malbec wine, funnily named Ms. Behave.  I tasted the 2006 Ms. Behave full of  black berries aromas and flavors. I look forward to tatsing their 2007 in Cahors!
