France

While today's Malbec drinkers vie mostly for the wines from Mendoza, Argentina, this wine comes from the grape's homeland of Bordeaux! We love French expressions of this grape because they provide the same luscious fruit, but with a bit more of a rustic, earthen quality and more acidity, making them easier to pair with food. The wine from Château Beynat typifies all of this, adding a touch of herbal green to the equation. A joyful red for sharing with plenty of friends. FUN HERBAL BRIGHT FRUITY GENEROUS

Malbec has been adopted by the Argentine culinary tradition with good reason! It's an excellent foil for hearty grilled steaks and anything cooked over an open flame. These salty, savory preparations highlight the fruit in the grape, and the acid in the wine makes the steak seem all the richer, too. Other suggestions we'd recommend include Cajun-style blackened chicken or confited eggplant with tomato concassé.
