Autumn Ambas from Argentina
Carissimi,
It has been a long day of dissertating, which merits a nice glass of wine alongside the piles of books and fitfully scribbled notes per a recent discussion with my professor. The weather is taking a turn and starting to cool down (I hope for good) and the days seem to be shorter. Took a run/hike in Griffith park after a theory-induced headache had set in: the air had a crispness and the light had an amber quality that reminded me that it is already September. Tonight I am enjoying a new Malbec find from Fresh & Easy – the 2008 Ambas Malbec for $4.99.
books and booze
This completely blows my last TJ’s Malbec find (Black Mountain) out of the barrel for just a dollar more. Upon opening I got an immediate whiff of cinnamon spiciness and vanilla, perfect for my spicy margherita pizza con rucola or for the leftover peach/blackberry crisp in the fridge. Very versatile. Best wishes to everyone on the slow transition to bigger reds as the cooler weather begins to taunt us.
A presto,
SAC
