A looooooooooong time ago, yes, during a tasting. I recall thinking of it as a great "grilling wine" - not heavy, medium body. For the price, it's definitely worth a shot.

Nice! How much do you guys cellar? I don't have anything at all right now, although we have a good space ... I need to look more into getting moving on that, but wine takes so much time anymore, and I don't really have occasion to move off the middle shelf like, ever ... maybe friends having kids, or birthdays.

As for Malbec being last week's hot new thing...it happens to all wines. Pinot Noir, Cabernet, etc. Wineries figure out that people like something so they start cranking out crappy bottles just to make a buck. It doesn't make the good ones less enjoyable.

Oh definitely - I agree totally, the good ones are still excellent, and there's a good reason why some wines become the "hot new thing" ... they're good!
I was just saying what you were - that the market gets flooded on the low/medium end, so spend some time looking around/tasting and find the ones you like best. I might have just said it worse, haha.
